federal funding dedicated to the Manchester • Boston Regional Airport Residential Sound Insulation
Program. Residential Acquisition Program
The Manchester • Boston Regional Airport Property Acquisition Program is a voluntary program designed to give homeowners located within the airport's runway protection zone (RPZ) the opportunity to sell their homes. The FAA has identified homes eligible for participation in this program. To date, approximately 100 area homeowners have accepted the airport's offer for purchase of their home. The goal of this voluntary program is to work with each and every eligible homeowner interested in relocating from within the airport's RPZ.
