Livermore city officials are contemplating substantial improvements to the Livermore Municipal Airport, with plans focused on enhancing emergency response capabilities and introducing innovative aviation technologies like hydrogen and electric planes. Key features of the proposal include establishing an Aviation Innovation Center and redeveloping a significant portion of the airport's land. While the airport does not offer commercial flights, it has been instrumental for emergency operations and local jet activities. Mayor John Marchand emphasized a shift towards cleaner, quieter technologies in response to residents' concerns about noise and air quality, aiming to position Livermore as an aviation innovation hub.
"We're getting away from the piston powered aircraft and on to these new technologies. That's really going to reinforce Livermore's role as an innovation leader at the airport."
"The community has said they want quiet, clean technologies. We will have all of the resources downtown to support those new ventures."
