BUILDING A BETTER LONG BEACH

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
For over 45 years, the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency’s mission has been to enhance the
quality of life by improving blighted areas of Long Beach, revitalizing neighborhoods, promoting economic
development, creating jobs, providing affordable housing and encouraging citizen participation.
There are many individuals and organizations that play a critical role in our success. We would
not be able to fulfill our mission without the visionary leadership of the Agency Board, who lend their
invaluable time and expertise to our cause. Each month the dedicated citizens who comprise our Project
Area Committees gather to discuss ways we can improve our neighborhoods. Our elected
representatives on the City Council provide guidance and support for our projects, and our numerous
partnerships with public and private entities help us achieve the many milestones we have reached.
Finally, the dedicated men and women who make up the Agency’s diverse and talented staff work
tirelessly to bring our grand visions to fruition. We are Building a Better Long Beach, and the community
is taking notice.
By promoting and leveraging our partnerships, we have kept pace with our growing economy
while respecting and preserving Long Beach’s rich heritage as one of the most diverse cities in the nation.
In 2007, the Agency invested $34.8 million in the revitalization of our neighborhoods in order to achieve
an enhanced quality of life. We also worked hard to meet the most basic needs of area residents, with
over $8.5 million for new streets, medians, sidewalks and other public facilities. In order to create a
healthier environment for our children and families to play and thrive, we spent $7.9 million on new and
expanded parks and open spaces. In addition, the Agency contributed $17.6 million towards building
high-quality, safe and affordable housing developments.
I am proud of the progress that we made this year. The pages of this report reflect how much we
have accomplished and the great strides we have taken towards revitalizing our communities. We
established tremendous momentum in 2007, and look forward to building on that momentum in 2008. I
invite you to share in our successes, and thank you for your continued support and partnership in Building
a Better Long Beach.
