Special Projects:
Leimert Park Neighborhood Block Grant Program ($948,000)
The City of Los Angeles, at the request
of the Eighth Council District, selected LANI to administer
the Leimert Park Neighborhood Block Grant (NBG) Program
in order to create community consensus for targeted
improvements while expediting the permitting and development
of these improvements. Community priorities for the
NBG funds included facade and signage improvements along
the commercial corridors and landscaping improvements
in adjacent residential areas. The planning and design
for facade, signage and landscaping improvements was
completed in March 2003. Construction of the facade
improvements was completed in Winter 2005 and resulted
in the revitalization of six contiguous buildings along
Crenshaw Boulevard. Construction of the landscaping
improvements is slated for Winter 2005/2006.
