Thank you Assemblywoman Kamlager-Dove and State Senator for championing AB 987 in support of jobs!

The City of Inglewood and surrounding regions deserve an opportunity to experience economic growth and new jobs that will assist families in their journey against economic inequality.

Now the City and the Clippers are bringing professional basketball back with a new, privately financed arena and practice facility. The Clippers Arena will not only generate thousands of well-paying jobs for families for years to come, but also create millions of dollars in revenue that will be used to improve local parks, libraries, and fire services, expand after-school programs and give back to the community. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to attack family and childhood poverty.

With Assemblywoman -Dove and State Senator Steven Bradford leading the way in the California Legislature with Assembly Bill 987, the new Arena will meet California’s strict environmental standards and bring economic revitalization to Inglewood and the surrounding region.

Inglewood, the City of Champions.
