Grand Avenue project to be considered

Los Angeles County Supervisors will mull the future of a $50 million "iconic park" in the heart of downtown today when they discuss whether to move forward with the massive Grand Avenue project. Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

Supervisors are scheduled to vote on an agreement to lease back public land to the developer of the $3 billion Grand Avenue project, which aims to become Los Angeles' true city center and draw locals and tourists with retail shops, housing units and green space.

Approving the lease-back agreement authorizes the development of a 16-acre park between City Hall and the Music Center - which will anchor the project and be the primary draw for the public.
