I would like to thank Director John King, CEO Rudol Montiel and their entire staff. Who
under the supervision of Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Have taken the project from being overlooked and set aside to being on the road to completion.
The Jordan Downs has gone from a project locked in stalemate to finally state wide support
with the which would not be possible without Congresswoman Maxine Waters. The Mayor of Los Angeles has made redevelopment plans of the Jordan Downs public housing complex in Watts, A top priority. The $1-billion redevelopment project is part of the Mayor's $5-billion five-year housing plan to build 20,000 affordable units. The Mayor emphasized that the redevelopment plan has a comprehensive community component.
With the assistance of Congresswoman Maxine Waters, The Mayor of Los Angeles said he is committed to not just to redeveloping Jordan Downs but also improving the adjacent Jordan Downs High School. The Mayor is also already working to further strengthen the referral and recruitment relationship between Jordan High School and area universities and colleges.
Bringing jobs to the community is yet another component of the Master Project Plan. Site location assistance, incentive packages and workforce development resources are being offered to attract companies to relocate to South LA.
Safety is a big concern and the Mayor pointed out that the additional 1000 police officers being added to LAPD will help safeguard the neighborhood.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters assured the residents that the Mayor is paying close attention to what is happening at Jordan Downs at all times and expects to be back in Jordan Downs soon - this time to meet with the broader resident community.
