What's New

In order to continue the revitalization of the communities it serves, the CRA/LA is reviewing seven of the nine South Los Angeles redevelopment project areas. This review includes a complete analysis of the Redevelopment Plans in each project area for potential plan amendments to:

block2 Explore enlarging the existing project areas,
block2 Merge certain project areas to gain greater economic strength and additional flexibility in the deployment of staff and financial resources, and
block2 Capture additional growth opportunity areas.

Prior to amending the Plans, physical and economic conditions will be analyzed to identify any adverse conditions that may exist until the Summer of 2007.

The Normandie 5 Redevelopment Project is an older neighborhood in the greater Los Angeles area where most of the present housing stock dates from the early part of the 20th century. Adams Boulevard bounds the Project Area on the north, Normandie Avenue on the east, Jefferson Boulevard on the south and Western Avenue on the west.

Subdivision of this area at the turn-ofthe century contributed to blight and density problems, and hence the community was facing substantial deterioration when the Agency began its efforts. In cooperation with the Project Area Committee (PAC), the Agency has worked to preserve the residential character of the community through the rehabilitation of the existing housing stock and new housing developments.

Public Improvements, which in many cases were substandard, were also improved and expanded. Additionally, a commercial façade and signage program has been successful in revitalizing older commercial structures and improving the overall commercial character of the area. Implementation of the Redevelopment Plan also provides opportunities in the form of economic and technical assistance to commercial property owners and merchants who were impacted by the civil unrest of 1992.
