Most homes on Cedar Swamp Road and Pembroke Avenue have since been demolished, likely to make way for future expansion.

Renovation/expansion plans

Runway expansion

The Rhode Island Airport Corporation writes (in 2001)[2] that the master plan completed in 1997 failed to envision the "tremendous growth" that had been experience in the years hitherto. The report identifies lack of runway length as a hindrance to "range and diversity of service", in particular emphasizing ability to service non-hub locations, the west coast, and international locations. A challenge particular to T. F. Green in this regard is its being surrounded by dense residential and commercial development. Many local residents also oppose expansion for the impact it will have on quality of life in the area.

Though extending the main runway would bring in an estimated $138 million over the course of 13 years, doing so would consume 204 houses, at least ten businesses, and large areas of wetlands. [10] The FAA plans to hold public meetings in upcoming May before making its recommendation concerning runway expansion to the Rhode Island Airport Corporation.
