The proposed OAK Terminal Modernization and Development Project is vital for the airport's future, boosting local job creation and economic activity, as stated by Port of Oakland Board President Michael Colbruno.
While advocates stress the project's necessity for meeting future air travel demand, opponents point out the declining passenger numbers since the pandemic and voice concerns about the environmental impact, particularly on local air quality.
The existing Terminal 1, built in the 1960s, is to be replaced to meet current efficiency, safety, and seismic standards, creating a more modern facility.
Opposition groups allege that the Environmental Impact Report fails to adequately analyze the public health consequences of the project, particularly concerning increased air pollution for surrounding communities.
