Downtown Long Beach approves redevelopment plan
City council endorses the Downtown Long Beach redevelopment project with support from the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Long Beach Associates. Opponents led by Peter Devereau raise concerns about tax increment financing and the definition of blight, while attorney Eugene Jacobs notes state law limits displacement and requires replacement housing. City Manager John Mansell says financing will come case by case and no broad bond sale is planned. The council also approves the environmental impact report.
