LIVERMORE â Objections to a possible expansion of the Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK) have surfaced, with rumblings of discontent present at city council meetings throughout the Tri-Valley. A new group has formed to oppose it.
Since the Livermore Airport Commission approved KaiserAirâs development plans on Feb. 8, Pleasanton resident Kamal Aggarwal teamed up with an advocacy group of Tri-Valley residents calling itself Say No to Livermore Airport Expansion. KaiserAir would add Boeing 737s to the LVK runway.
While David Decoteau, the former airport manager, stated that KaiserAir estimates two aircraft would conduct two landings and two takeoffs per week, Aggarwal s group cites concerns that once the expansion is built, it will not be legally possible to place a cap on the number of flights. Several public speakers have dialed into public meetings at city councils around the Tri-Valley to voice dismay over the noise impact.
Livermore is now accepting joint applications for its Commercial Rent Abatement Matching Grant Program from eligible commercial landlords and their small business tenants.
Businesses with gross receipts up to $10 million that have experienced losses as a result of COVID-19 are eligible to receive up to $7,500 from the city if their commercial landlords agree to waive up to $7,500 in unpaid rent during the public health emergency providing a net benefit for eligible businesses of up to $15,000.
The city has appropriated $409,000 for the program, which is available on a first-come first-served basis.
