The Broadway/Manchester Recovery Redevelopment Project was adopted on December 19, 1994. It is located approximately ten miles south of downtown Los Angeles, in Council Districts 8 and 9. It is one of several redevelopment projects adopted in response to the civil unrest of 1992. The Project Area generally encompasses the commercial corridors of Broadway between 84th Place and 102nd Street and Manchester Avenue between the Harbor Freeway and Central Avenue. Though the civil disturbance had a devastating impact on the community, the community’s commercial corridors have been in a state of deterioration for several decades. Redevelopment goals are aimed at turning these commercial corridors into viable and thriving centers of economic prosperity, providing the community access to goods and services and employment opportunities.
The Agency has proceeded with the active participation by the Community Advisory Committee (CAC), to implement the Plan to the extent possible given extremely limited resources.
