If you live near the airport, then you're probably interested in the QuieterHomes Program that the City Council gave a final go-ahead to Tuesday night. I've been getting a lot of calls and e-mails, so below is information about how to find out whether your home may qualify for the program. Remember, only 27 homes at the southeastern end of the airport are being included in the program, which has upset residents at the northern end. See my stories about that issue here and here.
Residents can learn more about the program, see maps of the noise contour and find out if their home is included by going to www.lgb.org, then finding "Quieter Home Program" under the "Community Relations" bar in the directory on the left side of the screen. Residents can also call a toll-free number, 888-739-4090, or the airport's public affairs office at 562-570-2678.
A public informational meeting about the program is scheduled for Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in The Grand Long Beach Event Center, 4101 Willow Ave., airport spokeswoman Sharon Diggs-Jackson said Wednesday. She also said that she will send out letters Wednesday to the 27 residences that can join the QuieterHomes Program.
