Community Listening Session: Reflecting on the Past and Envisioning the Future of the Santa Monica Airport Site

Doors open at 5pm. Discussion starts at 5:30pm on October 30 at Ocean Park Library (2601 Main St).

On October 30th, we're hosting an OPEN discussion regarding the Santa Monica Airport site. The event will begin with a reflection on aviation history, led by local historians and community leaders, followed by a public community discussion. We'll be logging public opinions on what histories (or landmarks) should be in mind when designing the future of the 192 acres of airport land. This is an effort to inform the City of Santa Monica's obligation to honor Measure LC. Your voice matters! RSVP here. For inquiries, email melina@smconservancy.org.
