Why Are We Having This Meeting? Recently, Reid-Hillview Airport played an integral role in the containment of the SCU Lightning Complex Fire, which burned almost 400,000 acres in Santa Clara County. This fire and others like it are re-energizing the community conversation about why Reid-Hillview Airport should NOT close. The report created by the 'Reid-Hillview Vision Plan' development team shows the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors alternate uses of the 180 acres pres...ently utilized by Reid Hillview Airport on the east side of San Jose. When this report was first introduced in a community meeting, there was widespread criticism about the one-sided nature of the report. Now is our chance to educate and inform the development team of all the benefits to keeping and exploring a co-existence with the airport. The 'Reid-Hillview Vision Plan' Development Team will be presenting their "findings" to the board of supervisors in November. The Board of Supervisors have been very persistent in their belief that they are not trying to close Reid-Hillview Airport, but the current report does NOT include an airport after 2031! If you haven't had a chance to look at the report, here is the link to the ‘Reid-Hillview Vision Plan': https://www.sccgov.org//Reid%20Hillview%20Vision%20Plan%20
