Editorial: Customhouse in Harbor Threatened by Disunity
The piece argues that harbor area plans for a U S customs headquarters falter amid apathy and split interests among Long Beach and Los Angeles port bodies. It notes Nichols favored a harbor site near Alameda and 223rd Street as part of a broader International Trade Center, while Riverside officials push alternatives. Despite support for a trade center, the three communities remain divided over a site and funding, hindering progress toward a waterfront customs hub and its expected 5,000 local workers.
