General DescriptionRedevelopment GoalsGeography

The Downtown Region is defined by seven project areas, including the Central Business District, Central Industrial, Chinatown, City Center, Little Tokyo, Council District 9 Corridors and Bunker Hill, the most historic of all project areas. The 22 priority projects in this region will repair and restore public infrastructure and civic facilities, encourage economic development and facilitate housing opportunities for residents of all income levels.

 

 

To provide housing for all income levels, including and specially for very low-income households, incentives for private investment and business development, address deteriorated buildings and vacant blighted land, develop business opportunities, implement landscaping and streetscape improvements, and rehabilitate key historic buildings.
 

 

The region extends as far north as Chinatown, and south towards Florence Avenue, with a western boundary at Vermont Ave. With the exception of the Central Industrial Redevelopment Project, it is bound by Alameda Street to the East. The majority of the region’s priority projects are located within an area whose parameters include CA Interstate Highways 5, 10, 101 and 110.
