MAY 18 Motion to approve $105 million in TEFRA funding for unbuilt 468-unit residential and 16,400 sq-ft commercial development at 141 W Avenue 34 in Lincoln Heights
Hello Friends, LA City Council will hear a motion to approve $105 million in tax-exempt funding for the controversial Avenue 34 development in Lincoln Heights on Tuesday, May 18. The motion deceptively calls this “an existing 67-unit residential housing project.” It is actually an unbuilt 468-unit luxury apartment + 16,400 sq-ft commercial retail project. The property is the subject of a State investigation for toxic contamination from a former industrial dry cleaner, diesel refueling, and electrical manufacturing, and City Planning is barred from clearing its construction while that investigation is underway. The project could release airborne toxins impacting neighbors and Hillside Elementary School which is directly across the street.

Tell them to ensure the safety of our neighborhood before giving these
