The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted last week to support Assembly Bill 530, 63rd District Assemblymember Anthony Rendon’s (D-Lakewood) proposal that would spur revitalization of the entire L.A. River.
“The L.A. River is a natural resource that all communities in our region should have access to,” Rendon said. “The support of the Board of Supervisors, along with community and elected leaders from throughout the county, highlights the wide consensus backing this collaborative effort.”
AB 530 establishes a local working group tasked with updating the Los Angeles River Master Plan to develop a revitalization plan for the Lower River, just as the Upper River has. The Lower River plan would be consistent with and designed to enhance the county master plan for the entire river.
“I fully support the work Assemblyman Rendon is doing to create a working group for the Lower Los Angeles River,” said 1st District Supervisor Hilda Solis. “Stakeholders from across the county will have the opportunity to participate and envision a revitalized river. When different levels of government work together, the community benefits.”
AB 530 is currently pending approval in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
