Virtual meeting to help plan future of Skywest Golf Course property—6 p.m. July 27

July 22, 2021

Hayward Executive Airport will hold a virtual public meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 27, as part of a recently launched community-based planning process for the future reuse of Skywest Golf Course.
 
The objective of the planning process is to create a reuse site concept for the Airport’s 126-acre Skywest property, which Hayward Area Recreation and Park District ceased operating as a golf course back in September 2020.
 
The virtual meeting to be held on the Zoom webinar platform is intended to give Hayward community members--especially people living near the former golf course and Hayward Executive Airport—an opportunity to comment and provide feedback on how the property should be utilized.
 
Members of the public also are invited to provide input and learn more about the planning process at a special public engagement website containing an interactive map and how-to videos reachable through this link. Feedback and questions also can be directed to Erin Sheelen of the Airport’s Skywest reuse planning consultants Kimley-Horn at (669) 800-1985 or erin.sheelen@kimley-horn.com.
