WAAM now has it's own website.

CCC as a courtesy to WAAM, had allowed WAAM to post information about the airport on this site.
This is no longer necessary.


April 16, 2002 - The Sewall's Point Town Commission approved our request and Supported a Feasibility Study on the Airport. The town commission also asked WAAM and CCC to provide a list of Local, State and Federal officials that we would like them to contact for the purpose of asking that the study be ordered and completed in a timely manner. We want to thank the Town of Sewall's Point taking a strong position of support on such an important issue.

NOTICE
On Tuesday - April 17, 2001 -  a resolution recognizing CCC
our Mission Statement and Immediate Goals was adopted unanimously by the Town of Sewalls Point.
(to view the resolution, click here)

 

Mission Statement

To Enhance, Preserve and Protect Our Way of Life (Lifestyle) in Sewall's Point and Martin County
To Protect Property Values

Support and Coordinate with Groups Seeking to Resolve Witham Airport Issues:
(Safety - Growth Management - Noise - Pollution - Health)

 

Immediate Goals of CCC

Moratorium on Grant Requests and Spending at Witham    * see note below
Mandatory Curfew - 10pm to 8am (excluding governmental, medivac and emergency flights)
Mandatory Noise Abatement on all Flights (currently published as voluntary)

* Note regarding Moratorium on Spending

Maintenance of existing facilities and emergency repairs excluded.
The airport is currently being operated in a safe manner. By freezing funding/grant requests for improvements, there should be no compromise in safety. If the airport determines that any unsafe condition exists, then a request for funds and immediate repairs should be made. This moratorium request shall in no way be allowed to compromise safety!
Moratorium to be in effect until the FAA 150 study, the FAA 161 and MPO studies are completed.

 

CCC   Mission Statement and Immediate Goals.

CCC will also be working with surrounding communities to form individual citizen groups. Each group will coordinate and work together to protect not only the interests of each community and our way of life in Martin County, but  will work together with WAAM to facilitate mutual goals regarding the Witham Airport issue. Each community has specific concerns regarding the airport. For some it is the constant touch and go training traffic, for others it is jet traffic and for some, all air traffic at Witham. We believe that the airport properly managed, can be a good neighbor to most. Our goal is to keep Witham a Small Community General Aviation Airport.
