Port of Long Beach announces events for Pier Wind project

The Port of Long Beach will be hosting two events to provide information and gather input for the upcoming environmental review for Pier Wind.

The Pier Wind project is a proposed 400-acre terminal designed to facilitate the assembly and deployment of offshore wind turbines.

If approved, the planned Pier Wind project would be the largest of its type on the West Coast, helping California reach its renewable energy targets, according to the port.

Following that, a scoping meeting will be held to offer an overview of the proposed project as well as an explanation of the environmental assessment process.

The first open house and scoping meeting will be held 13 December at the Port of Long Beach Administration Building’s 1st Floor Multipurpose Room. The open house begins at 5.00 pm, followed by the scoping meeting at 6.00 pm.
