Life after CRA: Learn about the new model for economic development in the City of L.A.
Tuesday, Jan. 15
Noon - 1:30 p.m.
Special Guest:
Miguel Santana
Chief Administrative Officer
City of Los Angeles
When Gov. Jerry Brown came into office, one of his most impactful decisions was to dismantle the California Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and redirect those public funds to help address the state's budget deficit. In order to get back on track to achieving Los Angeles' economic development goals that were abandoned with the CRA's demise, the Mayor and City Council have approved the concept of an Economic Development Department and a non-profit that would contract with the City. An ad-hoc committee was formed and a consultant hired to study current economic activities, best practices in other cities and the best structure for a future entity.
Join the Chamber and the Chief Administrative Officer's office to hear the results of the study and learn how the City intends to move forward in filling the role that the CRA used to play in economic development.
