INGLEWOOD–On the second day of a two-day visit aimed at raising funds for her husband’s re-election campaign and touting her “Let’s Move!” initiative, first lady Michelle Obama Wednesday toured the site of a planned Inglewood market that benefited from a state program created to increase the availability of healthy foods.
“Let’s Move!” is dedicated to solving the problem of childhood obesity within a generation, including bringing grocery stores and other forms of healthy food retailers to underserved communities.
The California FreshWorks Fund, a public-private financing fund that has raised $264 million to invest, has committed $20 million in financing to Northgate for its first three projects, which are in South Los Angeles and the City Heights portion of San Diego in addition to Inglewood yesterday.
