Summary
Los Angeles County is pouring nearly $2 million into a study to decide the future of Whiteman Airport in Pacoima, weighing economic impacts against the push for affordable housing and environmental justice.

The study will examine all angles before any final decision — but for Pacoima, the land’s potential to transform lives may outweigh the flight.
