Ex-Branford Landfill to Be Sold to Developer
- Share via
The Los Angeles City Council agreed Friday to sell the former Branford Landfill and an adjacent Sanitation Bureau yard to a developer who will build a large business park and hopes to employ up to 1,000 people.
In addition to selling the 20 acres for $2.55 million to SunQuest Development LLC, the council’s preliminary vote also sets aside $230,000 in city funds to offset developer costs for installing a methane gas mitigation system at the former landfill. The total development will be 33 acres.
The project, with a price tag of about $50 million, will provide 550,000 square feet of commercial and industrial space in an economically distressed part of the northeast San Fernando Valley.
