• Oregon Aviation group calls private jet proposal at Hillsboro Airport 'a horrendous project' (koin.com) — Hillsboro officials are weighing whether a $38 million private jet hub at Hillsboro Airport should move forward after an appeal put the project back before city council. A local aviation group argues the SkyHarbour plan could worsen noise, pollution, and property values, while the Port of Portland says it fits the airport's 20‑year master plan. A final decision could significantly shape the airport's future role in town.
