Are you concerned about increased density and growth potential in Long Beach?
Make sure to attend an upcoming public discussion forum!

BPNA would like to help spread the word about Long Beach’s Land Use Element of the General Plan, and its future impact on the density and growth of the city.

City staff recently completed the Land Use Element (LUE) of the General Plan and brought it to the Planning Commission.

Some citizens voiced their concerns about the increased density allowed on major thoroughfares and other areas in Long Beach detailed in the LUE.

The Commission voted to allow more public discussion of the matter before any action is taken.

Four meetings are scheduled in various venues around the city between now and October 18. The public is invited to attend and participate in them.

Dates and locations are as follows:

1. Saturday, Sept 30, 3-5 p.m. at Veterans Park Community Center, 101 E. 28th St.

2. Weds, October 4, 6-8 p.m. at Whaley Park Community Center, 5620 Atherton St.

3. Saturday, October 14, 11am-1 pm at Best Western Golden Sails Hotel, 6285 E. PCH

4. Wednesday, October 18, 6-8 p.m. at Expo Arts Center, 4321 Atlantic Ave.

Community Budget Meeting
2017-08-31 18:00 (America/Denver) | 340 Nieto Ave, Long Beach, CA 90814, 340 Nieto Avenue, Long Beach, CA - California, 90814
MESSAGE FROM 3RD DISTRICT COUNCILWOMAN SUZIE PRICE:
On Thursday, August 31, at 6:00 PM at the Field Office (340 Nieto Ave.) Councilwoman Suzie Price will be hosting a community budget meeting to discuss the proposed 2018 City Budget. The City Manager will do a brief presentation, then open up to questions and answers from various departments including Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks, Recreation and Marine, Tidelands, and Homeless Services.
If you are interested in the budget process I would encourage you to attend this meeting and learn more about the upcoming budget. Additionally, in order to be mindful of the fact that this meeting is being held during dinner time for many residents we will be including small appetizers to make attending easier for those just getting home from work.
The budget is a major endeavor and dominates the months of August and September every year. I always advocate for a prudent budget that looks realistically at how we can ensure the city is on strong financial footing, while also offering the best essential services that Long Beach can provide. The budget is an important time for us to collectively reflect our values through the way we allocate resources.
For me, those values are simple – I want our budget to be balanced and responsible. One bad budget can put the city on the wrong track for years, so ensuring we put Long Beach on a strong foundation for many years to come is a major focus for me. Additionally, our public safety and infrastructure are seeing bigger investments than they have seen in decades, so making sure that these funds are allocated in a way that Long Beach residents get the biggest bang for their bucks is very important because we need more police and more road repairs throughout the City. I am also a big supporter of the arts, our libraries, and ensuring Long Beach businesses are given every advantage and all the support they need in order to be successful.
Link to City Manager’s Proposed Budget
I look forward to seeing you there on Thursday, and If you have any questions please contact my office at (562)570-6300 or District3@longbeach.gov.
Sincerely,
Suzie Price
Councilwoman, Third District
