To date, the LRPMP has been implemented by staff. The specialty services of these consultants will be available to staff on an as-needed basis.
The LRPMP includes the following properties and activities. Several of these are expected to be disposed of in the next fiscal year:
- 24219 South Avalon Boulevard - 0.23 acres
- 20820 South Main Street - 0.58 acres (expect an offer from developer).
- 17505 South Main Street - 0.66 acres (proposed City use).
- 2254 East 223rd Street - 5.5 acres (under contract).
- 600 West Carson Street - 0.39 acres (ENA).
- 526 West Carson Street & 21704 Figueroa Street - 0.37 acres
- Agency administration, financial planning, property management and accounting.
The following list contains the proposed consulting firms and their expertise. It should be noted that other consultants may be needed as Agency projects are implemented. Any additional consultant services will be brought forth individually by project.
