Earlier this month, the San Luis Obispo City Council reviewed and updated the Airport Area Specific Plan, a space that consists of 1,500 acres of land adjacent to the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport. The SLO Chamber’s advocacy work directly resulted in a change to the plan that will allow for more housing units to be built on a faster timeframe.

The 2025 SLO County Housing Summit brought together key stakeholders, policymakers and industry leaders to discuss the pressing challenges and opportunities in our region’s housing landscape. The event featured a keynote address by 2026 California gubernatorial candidate and former Senate Pro Tempore, Toni Atkins, followed by panels focused on the next generation of homeowners and local government efforts.

San Luis Obispo’s arts and culture scene is a testament to our region’s commitment to creativity, collaboration and a profound love of place.
