  • DLBA 2020 Annual Report
    2020 ANNUAL REPORT To overstate the obvious, 2020 was a year unlike any other, and despite its challenges, the strength, resiliency, and compassion of the Downtown Long Beach community has carried us through. We could not be prouder of how our residents, workers, businesses, and property owners came together to support one another through the COVID-19 pandemic. True character is never clearer than when it is tested – and the character of Downtown Long Beach is shining bright. TABLE OF CONTENTS The public health and economic crisis coupled with the politics surrounding the pandemic were the defining aspects of 2020 across the globe and made a profound impact on our Downtown. With businesses under tight operating restrictions and physical distancing protocols in place, local businesses, government, and community-serving organizations like the Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DLBA) became creative, nimble, and fiscally assertive. At the outset of these events, when everyone was essentially drinking information from a firehose, DLBA set its sights to manage the crisis on three major tenets and deliver assistance to its stakeholders by providing accurate information on a consistent basis, alleviating fear, and helping build a road to recovery. These objectives quickly took shape with the creation of such programs that included, but were not limited to, a higher touch of communication 3 MISSION STATEMENT and outreach to stakeholders, creation of landing pages such as the COVID-19 Resource Page to manage the amount of information that was being produced, launching a gift card promotion to continue to keep businesses front of mind and help instill some funds back into the local economy, and the Open Streets Program.

  • Economic Profile 2021 WELCOME to DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH
    DTLB Economic Profile 2021 WELCOME TO DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH In 2020 the Downtown Long Beach Alliance broke with tradition, deciding to postpone and ultimately cancel its Annual Economic Profile, resolving instead to include data and research about the unique events of 2020 and their impacts on the Downtown economy as context for the forward-looking 2021 Economic Profile. Though still ongoing, the initial impacts and potential lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are much clearer today than they were this time last year, when the virus was still little understood. Downtown Long Beach experienced immense growth and investment in the years following the Great Recession. What had been a steady influx of new businesses ramped up in 2019, with a plethora of new dining, drinking, and entertainment options throughout the district. The blossoming of ground- floor retail was reflected in investments by office-based businesses, such as the rapidly growing online cycling firm Zwift, and a slew of residential developers whose projects have helped build out vacant redevelopment lots and convert office buildings with dwindling tenancies into mid-income and luxury housing. As you will see in this report, the pandemic put a pin in this trajectory—but it did not reverse it. Some businesses permanently closed as a result of the pandemic and ensuing government-mandated health orders, and many people lost employment—significant losses that will be felt for some time. However, many businesses clung on with the assistance of federal and local aid. Office, retail, and residential occupancy rates remain largely unchanged compared to the period before COVID-19 disrupted the economy.

    Long Beach Area Council Boy Scouts of America Presents: Family Adventure Day II – May 15, 2021 Family Adventure Day Guide Welcome to Family Adventure Day II- a day for your family or Den or Patrol to get out and visit many fun and interesting locations in the Port of Los Angeles. We have curated many outings nearby that can be visited for no or low cost and we encourage you to join us on May 15 for an on-your-own tour of some of our region’s highlights! Some you may have visited before; others may be new- but they are all worth a stop. Go to one, go to three, try and go to them all- it is totally up to you. We just want you to have a Big Family Adventure! How it works: in the following pages you will find some maps of the stops, a general description of each and what you might find there. Plus, some helpful hints to assist in finding your way. On our Council’s event webpage, you will find an interactive map with links to videos of Scouts enjoying many of the outings and taking you on a virtual tour of the stop. Current Covid-19 rules will apply- wear a mask when required, social distance, stay home if you are not feeling well or have a temperature. Follow current Scout regulations on May 15. At the end of the day: from 2 – 4 pm, you may end your tour at our BSA Service Center, 401 E. 37th St. Long Beach.
