TGIF, everyone, where we'd like to remind you that although those huge warehouses are filled with gifts that can get to your door in 24 hours, there's nothing better to do for your community on holiday weekends than to shop local! Need some inspiration? Make sure to turn here for a list of shops you can stroll into this weekend and explore (just like the old days). Speaking of local: Be on the lookout this weekend for an email we're sending to kick off our December fundraiser. It's not exactly "news you can use," but it is a crucial component to the operations of our tiny newsroom.
🎶 Setting the mood: “Maps” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (One of my all time favorite songs; Karen O’s vocals still give me chills. -K) |

Airport officials address expansion concerns at Thursday meeting |
|
Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) officials addressed community concerns about growth, noise, and traffic Thursday evening as they unveiled the latest plans for a major expansion.
Driving the news: Airport leaders and consultants presented current plans to handle an expected doubling of passengers — from three million to six million — in the next 20 years at a public meeting at the convention center. They also showed plans to reduce the height of a proposed rental car facility after residents objected to earlier designs.
What they're saying: Some residents who attended the meeting expressed concerns about increased aircraft noise and road congestion from the expansion. Some also favored keeping the airport as it is, with one noting, "Everything you’re planning and doing is for tourists and to the detriment of many of us who live here year-round.”
Bigger picture: The expansion is driven by surging tourism and population growth in the Coachella Valley, officials explained.
What's next: Environmental studies and more detailed design work will continue over the next year before construction can begin on the first phase, which will see seven additional gates, expanded baggage claim, and construction of the new rental car facilities. Work could be finished by 2030.
