Airport Conversion Project Community Engagement Kickoff

The city of Santa Monica will kick off the official community engagement process for the Santa Monica Airport Conversion Project on Sunday, May 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Clover Park.

The kickoff event will be a community open house, featuring multiple stations for community members to listen, to learn, and to share ideas with the team about the future of Santa Monica and the airport land.

This is Phase 1 of 5 phases planned for the community engagement process, which will be a 21-month effort to generate a preferred scenario for the future of the airport site, focused on a “Great Park” and consistent with the 2014 voter-approved Measure LC.

Community members can email TheFutureofSMO@santamonica.gov with any questions about the community engagement process. The engagement website at smacproject.com provides an email sign-up option for project updates and will soon expand to include the first survey, engagement timelines, virtual learning sessions, and more.
