As part of my commitment to creating a safer and healthier environment in the 7th Council District, I partnered with Pacoima Beautiful. We are calling for the closure of the Whiteman Airport. The residents of the Northeast Valley deserve the same considerations as communities in Santa Monica, and I call on the County to evaluate alternative uses for the property to provide economic opportunity, housing, and open space for this community. It’s long past due to deliver substantial economic investment and environmental justice for a community that has borne the burden and no benefit from airport operations.
