(February 18, 2004) -- LB's Redevelopment Agency now has a special web page regarding an Independent Study of Redevelopment in LB. We post a direct link below.

"In response to members of the City Council, the Project Area Committees and the Long Beach community, the Redevelopment Agency is considering the processes required for an Independent Study of Redevelopment in Long Beach. This page will be updated with the latest developments," the page says.

That includes background materials concerning a Special RDA Board meeting scheduled for LB's City Council Chambers on Feb. 19 at 6:00 p.m.

"This Special Meeting was scheduled by the Agency Board to encourage public participation related to the Independent Study. The meeting will cover the Request for Proposals (RFP) including the Scope of Work," the site says.

And the web page provides access to the memo sent to Project Area Committees (PACs) with attachments, including a draft RFP.
