Encampment Clean Up Continues
|
The BID continues to address homeless related issues around the district. Most recently the clean and safe team assisted the LAPD with a code enforcement event at Wall Street between 6th and 7th Street where the encampment was blocking the entire sidewalk. The clean team collected half a ton of trash and power washed the area. Watch this
video
to see the difference our team was able to make.

Meeting with Chief Legislative Analyst
|
|
The BID hosted a meeting with Clay McCarter from the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst to discuss the state of the fashion industry and potential economic incentives for fashion businesses. There were representatives from wholesale showrooms, property owners, wholesale tech, manufacturers, California Fashion Association, along with independent designers. The participants were able to share their experience and struggles in the fashion industry and what assistance they could use from the city to help sustain their businesses going forward.
After hearing the concerns, the BID advocated for better transportation options in the area, assistance with beautification, and media and promotion surrounding the LA Market Weeks and the fashion industry as a whole. The BID has since been in communications with the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board to promote the fashion and apparel industry to larger audiences.
