WOOSE (We Oppose Ohio State airport Expansion) is a group of concerned citizens from all neighborhoods surrounding the airport who question the need for expansion of the airport and its runways. We believe the airport has a detrimental effect on property values and our quality of life. Our goal is to find solutions to the current noise problems and find a way for the airport to serve its academic mission in a manner compatible with surrounding communities.

Noise study vindicates OSU airport expansion, but opponents disagree
Business First (Columbus), December 5, 2008
Results of a noise study appear to have toppled one obstacle to the planned expansion of Ohio State University Airport, much to the chagrin of some neighbors. But a runway extension and new hangars are at least five years off.

Airport study looks at solutions to noise problems
ThisWeek Worthington, November 13, 2008
Cusack and other Riverlea residents have aired their concerns in the past, but last week was different, because the emphasis turned to finding solutions as the lengthy study of noise at the Ohio State University Airport moved into its second phase. Out of this phase will come a Noise Compatibility Plan, which may result in steps being taken to mitigate some of the noise over Riverlea, Worthington and other residential areas near the airport.

OSU Airport noise study is entering its second phase
Worthington News (SNP), November 12, 2008
Some neighbors of the Ohio State University Airport still feel more than a little uneasy as plans for the expansion of the airport's north runway continue to move slowly forward. The airport hosted a public open house Thursday, Nov. 6, to discuss with residents both the ending of the first phase of the Part 150 Noise Study and the beginning of the second phase of the process, the Noise Compatibility Study.

Study to examine effects of airport noise
Montreal Gazette, October 27, 2008
Airport noise will be the focus of a new Montreal study now getting underway. An official with Montreal's public health department confirmed the department's researchers are looking at the impact of noise levels on the public health of residents living in and around Trudeau Airport and under flights paths. Last February, night flights were tied to hypertension and other health problems by British researchers who followed residents living near Heathrow and three other major airports in Europe.

Public invited to discuss airport noise
ThisWeek Worthington, October 23, 2008
Residents have long complained about the noise generated by Don Scott Field. On Nov. 6, they will have an opportunity to project their voices into a plan to abate that noise. Two public meetings are set for that day:from 2 to 4 p.m., the Part 150 Committee will meet at the Medflight training room, 2827 W. Dublin-Granville Road;from 7 to 9 p.m., a public open house will be held at the OSU Airport Hangar One, 2160 W. Case Road. A presentation will be made at 7:30 p.m. The purpose of both meetings is to provide an opportunity to review the updated draft Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs). The originals were presented to the public at a meeting on April 24, and have undergone "minor adjustments," according to Marie Keister, spokesperson for the Part 150 Study.
