Virtual Education Sessions Overview

Virtual Education Sessions Overview

A core goal of our community engagement work is to provide information to community members about the complex set of considerations that will inform what is possible on site. To help build a foundation of collective knowledge around these topics, the planning team will produce a series of online Virtual Education Session videos, each focused on a different element or elements of the planning process. These Virtual Education Sessions will be developed over multiple phases of the project and will be uploaded to this project engagement website.

Comments from the CoMap and Community Event 3 will be brought before City Council for consideration and direction on how to proceed towards a new, hybrid, Preferred Scenario in Phase 3B.

Join the Events

Each major phase of community engagement will include a community event in Santa Monica, offering community members the chance to engage directly with the planning team and the content explored as part of that phase of work. These events also give our team a chance to meet and hear directly from community members about what is important to them. These events will take place in accessible locations throughout Santa Monica.

Community Events

The second large-scale community event as part of the planning process will be held on Saturday, December 7 at Memorial Park Gym from 1pm-4pm. This Phase 2 Community event will review the results of Survey 2 around the future of the airport site after its anticipated closure at the end of 2028.
