Going Green
CleanTech Corridor
The CRA/LA has purchased a 20-acre site at 15th and Alameda Streets that it is actively seeking to develop, with an emphasis on "green" manufacturing. The Cleantech Corridor, as it is known, is a cluster of industrially-zoned land in that is being positioned as a destination for cleantech businesses.
CRA/LA is identifying national and international visionary CleanTech companies and sustainable green manufacturers that are interested in locating to the CleanTech area. Generous economic incentives are available for firms interested in this opportunity to lead Los Angeles as a model for sustainable industrial development in North America.

Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan
"The Los Angeles River traverses our diverse City, touching neighborhoods from its headwaters in Canoga Park, through Downtown [including the Arts District]. Today, most of the River's 51 miles - 32 miles of which are in the City of Los Angeles - flow within a concrete channel, serving a vital function as a flood control measure for the City and County of Los Angeles. This important but singular function has limited the vast potential of the river as a focal point for economic growth and community revitalization, environmental stewardship and recreational opportunities. After nearly two years of research and dialogue, the long-awaited Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan provides the first comprehensive proposal for river restoration.
 The Plan provides a 25- to 50-year blueprint for transforming the City's 32-mile stretch of the River into an "emerald necklace" of parks, walkways, and bike paths, as well as providing better connections to the neighboring communities, protecting wildlife, promoting the health of the river and leveraging economic reinvestment.
In order to give the Plan continued life, it proposes the establishment of an innovative three-tiered River management structure - linking together governance, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy. In fact, the City has already laid the groundwork for ongoing cooperation with other public agencies such as the County of Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, and the Army Corps of Engineers, to facilitate River Corridor improvements as soon as possible.
The Plan has been a collaboration of elected officials, multiple city departments and bureaus, a network of experts and consultants, concerned citizens, and environmental and recreational groups. A critical element of the Plan will be to provide ongoing opportunities for public involvement as specific projects move forward."
