On March 4, the Paso Robles City Council unanimously approved advancing the Spaceport and Technology Corridor initiative, directing staff to prepare a Request for Proposals for the FAA Commercial Spaceport License application. An independent review by RS&H confirmed the project’s strong foundation and outlined necessary steps for completion.

The initiative seeks to diversify the local economy by attracting high-tech investments and creating skilled job opportunities, while partnering with local schools and universities for aerospace workforce development. The Paso Robles Municipal Airport, covering 1,300 acres, will support both general aviation and aerospace development, including a dedicated propulsion test site for research and learning.
