The City of Santa Monica (“the city”) is inviting innovative partnership opportunities from qualified persons and/or firms for the conceptual development and use concepts within the Santa Monica Airport land, focused on (but not limited to) the following uses:  recreational, arts, cultural, educational and supported community uses through a Letter of Interest (LOI). These concepts could be short-term pop-up type activities or long-term multi-year opportunities. The Santa Monica Airport Conversion project (SMACP) is focused on these proposed uses, in alignment with the City Council adopted Guiding Principles, with the expectation that they will generate revenue to pay for the design, construction, operations, maintenance, and programming of the almost 200-acre site.  Please see below for additional info on Project Goals and Scope, refer to the project website www.smacproject.com for information on the site, community engagement process, and City Council direction.

The LOIs are for information only for the city to consider as the Airport Conversion Project feasibility process proceeds.
