Please join ECOS at two important meetings to oppose rampant development in the Natomas Basin: June 23 and June 26, 2025.
Join us to hold signs and/or testify:
June 23 – 5:30 County Supervisors Chambers at 700 H. The Upper Westside Project will be heard at the County Planning Commission. It is Item 3 on the Agenda and is available here. The Commission will make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for their meeting later this summer. The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) has been released and is available on the County website here.
June 26 – 5:30 City Council Chambers at New City Hall 915 I St. The Airport South Industrial Project will be heard at the City Planning Commission. They will make a recommendation to the City Council on whether or not to annex the land and whether to accept or deny the project. The FEIR has already been certified by LAFCo. This meeting is a continuation of the meeting on May 22, 2025. The agenda for June 26th is here.
Possibly as soon as mid-August the City Council will vote on the Airport South Industrial Project. The Board of Supervisors may meet on Upper Westside in late summer as well. Both of these meetings will be go or no go for the projects.
What You Can Do
- Post on social media your concerns about the project. Do it today, and tomorrow and for the next week until June 26.
- Encourage people to sign our petitions – they are here.
- Donate to the ECOS Natomas Fund here. We have initiated a lawsuit against LAFCo over Airport South Industrial. We need your help to pay for it.
