The Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) is seeking to create a redevelopment project area in Northeast Los Angeles that would include a significant portion of Atwater Village, Cypress Park, Glassell Park (including Fletcher Square area), and all of Elysian Valley (Frogtown).
The proposed "project area" in Atwater Village would include all of Atwater’s northern industrial area, including the residential area between Chevy Chase Dr and Goodwin Ave. A smaller area would encompass all residential and commercial properties between Fletcher Dr and Carillon St., this would also include all industrial and some residential property along the Seneca Ave / Casitas Ave corridor.

Redevelopment areas are designated areas with the City that have been established to maintain and increase the supply of housing for low and moderate income households, including section 8 housing, renovate or remove and replace deteriorated and dilapidated structures, foster job creation and establish a climate that will attract and sustain private investment. The redevelopment would be a comprehensive effort to eliminate blight and otherwise improve an area through a commitment of public funds and actions including the use of eminent domain. Redevelopment usually entails constructing and rehabilitating housing, improving public facilities, promoting employment opportunities and encouraging private investment.
CRA/LA funds their redevelopment projects thru incremental property taxes. The CRA/LA would receive a portion of those taxes in excess of the taxes collected prior to the creation of the project area.
CRA/LA representatives are currently doing outreach to neighborhoods within the proposed project area. They plan to make presentations to local groups, administer an opinion survey and learn more about the area.
