We are fighting the closure of Oceano Airport! A developer is trying to close L52! We need pilots from all over CA to attend this meeting in a show of force. AOPA has been made aware and is on-board. Anyone flying into Oceano who needs a ride, please email us.
We are working closely with AOPA's Bill Dunn, the airport administration, EAA, the FAA, and the San Luis Obispo County Supervisors.

Both AOPA and AVWeb have run the story.

A group of local pilots and business owners will be attending a San Luis Obispo County Supervisors meeting next Tuesday, March 2nd, at morning at 9:00.
A March 17th meeting is being planned by the developer at 5:00 p.m. at the Grover Beach Rabobank. We hope to have good attendance at this meeting.

Here is his press release:
Press Release:
A volunteer ad hoc committee from the community of Oceano has formed to explore options for the approximately 59 acre Oceano Airport. Committee members are derived from the Oceano Advisory Council (OAC), the Oceano Community Services District (OCSD), local business leaders, environmentalists and the general public.
Concepts for redevelopment of the airport property include a broad range of uses including visitor serving, residential, commercial, and senior housing as examples. The overall goal is to bridge the current barrier between the beach community and that portion of the community inland of Highway 1. A walkable, bikeable community that is integrated by strategic development providing live, work and recreation opportunities is one option for the airport property.
Meetings will be held from March through August with a final presentation before a joint OAC and OCSD meeting. There will be six expert presentations kicking off with Steven M. Taber of the law firm of Chevalier, Allen & Lichman, L.L.P. experts in Aviation and Airport Development Law, discussing airport closures and requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and Cal Trans Division of Aeronautics.
Other experts will include; a geologist, an ecologist, an economist, a climate change expert and Coastal Act specialist.
The public is encouraged to attend, Wednesday, March 17th, at 5:00pm at the Grover Beach, Rabobank, 899 Grand Ave. The one-hour presentation will be followed by questions and answers.
Invitees include representatives from San Luis Obispo County and the Supervisorial candidates running for District 4 in which the airport lies.
Jeff Edwards, long time San Luis Obispo County land planner with a questionable reputation.
