ICYMI: Some San Jose residents held a rally pushing to close Reid Hillview Airport over concerns of plane crashes in the area and lead contamination. Here's more.
County officials recently stopped providing leaded fuel to reduce lead contamination in the area, but neighbors said that hasn't stopped pilots from fueling up elsewhere with leaded fuel and flying over their homes.
Chavez plans to go to Washington, D.C. for a congressional hearing on the impact of leaded aviation fuel, and hopes to put pressure on the Environmental Protection Agency and Federal Aviation Administration to shut down Reid Hillview sooner. After the county supervisors voted to stop providing federal grant money to the airport, it is now slated to close in 2031."They think they can keep it open until 2031 with planes flying over our heads poisoning our children?," said resident Lupe Rosales.
