In his State of the County Address on Wednesday, Los Angeles County Board Supervisor Don Knabe is expected to announce the funding of $42 million in programs and capital improvement projects across his Fourth District.
Knabe's office today did not disclose what specific projects will be funded, but confirmed that at least $9 million of that money will benefit the Long Beach area.
The veteran politician, whose district includes Long Beach, Lakewood, Cerritos and Downey, also plans to talk about the economy, jobs and the county's budget at the third annual event hosted by the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce at the Long Beach Convention Center.
The luncheon event, which drew about 1,000 people last year, is sold out this year, said Chamber President and CEO Randy Gordon, adding that 300 more seats were added to accommodate the 1,250 people attending the event.
