COMMUNITY ECONOMICS, HEALTH AND EQUITY
April 2017 Plan Element Committee
April 13, 2017
Community Economics, Health, and Equity Goal
To ensure a restored Los Angeles River brings health, economic and environmental benefits to all residents and does not become a tool for further gentrification and displacement, revitalization efforts must foster stable communities free of residential and business displacement. Accordingly, all revitalization efforts must be guided by community-led decision making and be transparent and accountableto the public at every step. Restoration must prioritize and promote inclusive, equitable, health driven outcomes and promote climateresiliency. In short – River revitalization must be a model of equitable redevelopment. Our long-term quality of life as a region depends on it.
Community Economics, Health, and Equity Objectives
• Prevent gentrification-induced displacement• Address homelessness• Support and develop local business and workforce• Increase community access and assets• Improve community identity and pride• Provide river-focused education • Increase economic mobility and neighborhood
stability
The Objectives represent the outcomes and solutions collectively valued by the PEC, which are to:
