Supervisors Clear Way for Music Center Project
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted this week to proceed to the next phase in a $15.6-million plan to add restaurants and shops to the Music Center and increase county revenues.
The unanimous vote clears the way to spend $750,000 to complete an environmental study, schematic plans, design development drawings and final master plan for the project.
The money will come from the Music Center Operating Co. and uncommitted reserves in bond issues. Richard Dixon, the county’s chief executive officer, told the supervisors it will take about a year to complete the next phase. The Music Center expansion project was introduced to the board more than two years ago.
It would add at least two restaurants and an unspecified number of shops in front of the center and on the elevated plaza between the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Mark Taper Forum.
