SAVE THE DATES: NELA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA STUDY OPEN HOUSES

The Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) is having Open Houses on the proposed Redevelopment Project Area. The so-called NELA River Redevelopment Project Area would cover most communities that lie along the eastside of the Los Angeles River, including significant sections of Atwater Village, Cypress Park, Glassell Park and Elysian Valley. To be able to create a redevelopment project area neighborhoods within it must be declared “blighted”. Click here for a map of the proposed “blighted” area (pdf file).
