The Adelante Eastside Redevelopment Project, adopted on March 30, 1999, is located approximately two miles east of the downtown Central Business District. The approximately 2,200 acre industrial and commercial redevelopment project contains the areas south of Olympic Boulevard to the city limits of Vernon from the Los Angeles River to Indiana Street; North Main Street east to Valley Boulevard and Alhambra Avenue to the city limits of Alhambra; and all east - west commercial streets in Boyle Heights such as Cesar Chavez Avenue, First Street, Fourth Street and Whittier Boulevard from the Los Angeles River to Indiana Street.

The principal thrust of the project is the preservation of industrial and commercial uses within the community to promote a stable industrial base to provide jobs for the community, as well as enhancing the existing shopping areas to provide alternative commercial choices for residents.
