WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — The town of Westborough drafted a number of rules it wants the FAA to enforce regarding Amazon’s drone delivery plans during a meeting Thursday night.
Some residents voiced concerns about privacy and noise from the drones.
The meeting came after members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation sent a letter to the FAA and Amazon asking them to examine the potential impact of drone deliveries.
In September, Amazon held a community meeting in Westborough to discuss its proposed Prime Air drone delivery service.
The company said it plans to use unmanned aircraft to deliver packages weighing less than 5 pounds within a 7.5-mile radius of its fulfillment center.
Lawmakers have requested a response from Amazon by the end of October.
