Creative Ideas for a Market in Demand

Published by admin under jobs

Jobspace img2

A recent article published on March 10, 2008 titled “Creativity Counts” in the Los Angeles Business Journal highlighted the demand of industrial markets throughout the Southern California region. Cities such as Sylmar and Pamona are capitalizing and benefiting from the construction of new developments with tenants eager for space. The new buildings are more “modest-sized owner-user projects” for businesses to operate. This model has attracted startup companies and existing operators in need of more space.

This type of development is just one of many ideas that can be possible along Crenshaw Blvd. Most importantly, we want to hear from you on your thoughts and ideas on jobspace.

Preliminary Decision for MTA Crenshaw-Prairie Line

Published by admin under Uncategorized, transportation

Between March 20-25, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) held four public meetings at various locations within the Crenshaw-Prairie Transit Corridor Study Area. They updated the public on their preliminary decision based upon feedback and comments during the scoping period in October 2007.

The MTA has proposed to use Light Rail Transit (LRT) technology on a preferred route from Aviation Blvd along the Harbor Subdivision RR and connecting north along Crenshaw Blvd to Exposition Blvd where it will meet with the Expo Line. Further studies will examine potential connections along Wilshire Blvd and other alternative routes through Inglewood.

To find out more on the decision, you can read several published articles or visit the MTA website.
