The summit was held on October 27th to an audience that included more than 100 elected, business, labor, and community leaders. The event presented a historic study (downloaded here) about the current economic and community assets of the Central 710 Corridor – Southeast Los Angeles region, by Beacon Economics. Following the presentation, a panel of local civic leaders and experts shared their impressions of the report’s implications, and generated an open dialogue with the audience

“For this conversation to take place in the Southeast is a big deal.” – Belen Bernal, City Councilmember, City of South Gate.
