Vote marks the completion of state environmental milestone; moves on to federal environmental review
Today, the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners voted unanimously to certify the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed OAK Terminal Modernization and Development Project (Project). The Final EIR was released to the public on October 17, 2024. OAK Airport is owned and operated by the Port of Oakland.
The Port is proposing to modernize OAK’s aging passenger terminals, including the demolition of part of Terminal 1 that was built in the 1960s. A new terminal facility is proposed which will meet modern safety, seismic, and efficiency standards. The new terminal would be built entirely on the airport’s current footprint. No additional runways would be constructed, and no Bay fill would be required. New environmental and zero-emissions innovations will be an integral part of the development.
Additional information is available in the project fact sheet here.
