IN BRIEF

Residents who want more information on the proposed El Toro airport can

attend a town hall meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday at the Costa Mesa

Neighborhood Community Center.

The public meeting, sponsored by the county’s El Toro Master Development

Program office, will feature former Marine Corps pilot Tom Wall.

Wall will speak about what has been going on with the planning process

since 1993 -- when the federal government announced that the El Toro

Marine Corps Air Station would be shut down. He will give the audience an

overview of the reuse alternatives of the former military base.

The community center is at 1845 Park Ave. Additional town hall meetings

at the same location will held monthly.

For more information, call the El Toro Master Development Program office

at (714) 834-3000.
