LA County Report Details Safety Concerns, Explores Potential Closure of Whiteman Airport
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has released a comprehensive report on the future of Whiteman Airport in Pacoima. The study, conducted by Toole Design Group, examines the airport's impacts on community health, safety, and the local economy. It highlights significant concerns, including the historical use of leaded aviation fuel and a record of aircraft crashes in the surrounding area. The report also outlines potential alternative land uses, such as housing and commercial space, should the county decide to close the facility. The Board will now use this data to determine the next steps for the general aviation airport.
