SECOND SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT PROJECT

Agency Name: Los Angeles County Development Authority (Community Development Division)

Program Name: Vermont Manchester Transit Oriented Development Offsite Improvements

Project Number: CV1124-21

Original CDBG Amount: $1,300,665

Description:  This new project provides offsite improvements for the Vermont Manchester Transit Priority Project to support a mixed-use development encompassing affordable housing units for homeless seniors and low-income individuals and families, a community serving retail, a transit plaza, improved pedestrian and cycling connections to the bus rapid-transit station, and a Los Angeles County Metro Training & Innovation Center with an emphasis in employment training.  The redesign of wider public sidewalks in front of new local businesses and outdoor space will encourage social distancing.
