Brownfields Demonstration Site Program

The Brownfields Revitalization Program applies Brownfields strategies to specific demonstration sites within the City. To date, three Brownfields Demonstration Sites have been designated by the City Council and Mayor: the former Crown Coach Site in the Alameda industrial corridor, the Goodyear Industrial Tract in South Los Angeles, and the Wilmington Industrial Tract in the Los Angeles Harbor area. The Agency has taken a purchase option for the development of the former Crown Coach Site and has completed environmental studies and received regulatory closure for the upper thirty feet of the site, allowing development to proceed while additional clean up is undertaken. An RFP for development of the site was issued and an Exclusive Right to Negotiate has been awarded to Alameda Produce Market, Inc. The Goodyear Tract has been awarded $1.7 million in Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI)grant funds and $10.4 million in Section 108 Loan Guarantee funds. The Wilmington Industrial Park has been designated as the third Demonstration Site with funding of $350,000 from the Brownfields Revitalization fund and a technical assistance grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration. Two projects in the Tract have received BEDI funds to assist in project remediation and development.
