The Downtown spending scheme is moving full speed ahead, on time and over budget. . .
With the failure of Amendments 60, 61 and Proposition 101 on November 2nd, the contract with Artspace can move forward. The $550,000 contract with the private company out of Minnesota to investigate and plan for a low-income housing project for artists can now move forward. Also, with the failure of the three citizen initiatives will be the ‘revitalization’ of the LAEDC – a new, full-time position charged with bringing ‘creative sector’ business to town with the use of incentives and other propoganda.
