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 163-acre Vermont/Manchester Recovery Redevelopment Project, located approximately ten miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and in Council District 8, was adopted on May 10, 1996. It is one of several redevelopment projects formed in response to the civil unrest of 1992.

The Project Area generally encompasses the portions of the Vermont Avenue between 79th and 89th streets, Western Avenue from 85th Street to 89th Street, and Manchester Avenue between Van Ness Avenue and the Harbor Freeway.

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, services and employment opportunities.
