Marketplace project was underway. A local contractor,
(Far -Out Construction), along with several subcontractors,
have been hired by the developer to make the tenant
improvements. Mr. Karefa- Johnson urged the committee
members to visit the project site. Mr. Harold Tucker,
committee member, asked when the project is scheduled for
completion. Mr. Karefa- Johnson responded by stating that
the developer plans to open for business sometime in
October, 199Q.
LYNWOOD PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER
Mr. Karefa- Johnson informed the PAC committee that the
Lynwood Plaza Shopping Center project is experiencing a
substantial delay. He explained that one of the developers
(The Rainier Fund) interested in redeveloping the site has
withdrawn their proposal. He further stated that another
developer, Bell Financial, is very interested in the
redevelopment of the site but must first acquire a
commitment from the anchor stores (Alpha Beta and Clark
Drugs) before an acceptable proposal can be submitted to
the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency.
IV. Public Orals
There were no members of the public present.
V. Committee Member Orals
Chairperson Araujo asked Mr. Karefa- Johnson if the Agency
was in pursuit of attracting a restaurant franchise to come
to Lynwood. Mr. Karefa- Johnson stated that staff is
looking into this matter. Chairperson Araujo suggested
that staff contact the owner of Mr. Ed's Steakhouse. This
restaurant was previously located in Los Angeles, but had
shut down because of the poor location and due to the high
concentration of gang - related activities. She further
stated that she had seen this information reported on
Channel 7 Eyewitness News. She suggested that staff
attempt to contact Channel 7 for a telephone number of the
restaurant.
