Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Long Beach public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Long Beach Airport hangar and office expansion
A previously approved airport project wants to nearly double Hangar 1's size and build a bigger two-story office, cutting parking from 117 to 84 stalls but adding bike parking. The commission will decide whether it fits within the environmental review already done for the Globemaster Corridor area.
CoC Board recruitment
The CoC Board approved the City's FY 2026 funding recommendations, which will affect several currently funded programs, and is expanding by nine new seats with a solicitation for applicants opening soon.
Storm Damage and Housing Safety
Recent El Niño storms hit Southern California hard, causing bad flooding and forcing Long Beach to red-tag 13 homes due to safety hazards. With storm season just getting started, you'll want to keep an eye out for more extreme weather alerts.
Mayor's Fund grant applications for homeless services
Two nonprofit grant requests — $9,862.50 for Transformational Living Homes and $10,000 for Prep ED Programs Inc. — were set to go before the committee. Because the meeting was cancelled, the funding decisions are on hold until a future meeting.
Atlantic Avenue Property Dispositions
The city is negotiating terms of sale on eleven parcels along Atlantic Avenue in the 90805 area with a dozen parties, including housing and community organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Jamboree Housing. What gets built or sold there could reshape that corridor.
