Revitalization continues through recession

 Los Angeles, CA -- In 2008, the Mayor’s Office issued a five-year strategic plan to revitalize South Los Angeles. From housing to education, L.A. is getting a face-lift.

The plan proposes that hundreds of jobs will be created, the physical appearance of South L.A. will be improved, and the quality of life in neighborhoods will be better. So far, the plan is on track as new housing units are in the works and shopping center renovations are being done. But the current financial status of the nation has stagnated some initiative plans.
