From Ballona to St. Elmo's
MidCity Neighborhood Council is cleaning up! Your neighbors are coming together to take on beautification projects around central Los Angeles. The MidCity Neighborhood Council (MINC) empowers these groups with grants of tools, equipment and supplies for cleanup days and new planters along walkways. Council members and local stakeholders have also spearheaded efforts to get new signs, trashcans, banners and trees for our area.
Community Beautification Grants
The City of Los Angeles provides up to $10,000 for community members to come together and take on new creative endeavors to improve our community. The informational meetings can be found here on the LA City ....
W_CEDC
The Community Economic Development Committee for Washington Blvd or W_CEDC is a committee under the Mid City Neighborhood Council (MINC). W_CEDC is made up of community stakeholders (including MINC Board Members) who volunteer their time & efforts to the area of Washington Blvd as it falls within MINC. We deal with issues specifically and only related to Washington Blvd between Fairfax Ave and Crenshaw Blvd.
(We hope to expand the scope of our efforts to another MINC area Blvd in 2008.)
Our annotated mission statement is Safety first, followed by Beautification and then Economic Development of the Blvd.
In the past 3 years, W_CEDC has been chaired by MINC Board member Allan DiCastro. Together with volunteers and various city agencies, W_CEDC has been able to successfully complete over 70 documented projects on Washington Blvd for MINC. That’s an average of about 2 projects a month!
For a list of projects, both past and present, please send a request to allan@mincla.com
W_CEDC currently meets once a month . If you would like to be put on W_CEDC’s email list please send your request to allan@mincla.com.
