Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D- San Jose) and Mike Honda (D- San Jose) today announced San Jose will receive a $3, 400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to install a noise monitoring system as one of the noise mitigation measures for residences around the Norman Y. Mineta International Airport.
“This money will help families, schools and businesses near the airport to minimize unwanted noise,” said Rep. Lofgren. “It is important to maintain efforts to protect communities from noise pollution while allowing Mineta International Airport to continue as an important economic factor in the Silicon Valley.”
“While accommodating the airport expansion necessary to keep Silicon Valley growing as a region, we need to ensure that families and businesses nearby don’t experience any noise nuisance,” Rep. Honda said. “The mitigation measures made possible by this federal grant will improve residents’ quality of life and enhance our regional development opportunities.”
