The city of Livermore announced a change in its organizational structure that shifts oversight of the Livermore Municipal Airport from the Public Works Department to the Innovation & Economic Development Department.
“This strategic realignment reflects the City’s commitment to focusing resources and expertise where they can have the greatest impact,” officials said in a statement Friday.
The Innovation & Economic Development Department – led by Brandon Cardwell – seeks to lead a comprehensive visioning process to explore new strategies to enhance the airport’s role as a unique economic development asset, with a focus on business development and revenue generation while addressing community concerns related to aircraft noise and leaded fuel, according to officials.
Meanwhile, the Public Works Department is transitioning focus back to its core responsibilities, including water and wastewater service delivery, environmental services, maintenance and asset management.
“These changes are an important step toward optimizing our organizational structure to better serve Livermore residents and businesses,” said City Manager Marianna Marysheva. “We are confident this realignment will strengthen our service delivery and our economic development efforts while continuing to address community concerns related to aircraft noise and transition to clean fuel.”
