County OKs $550,000 Toward Land Purchase
LOS ANGELES
The Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to contribute toward the $35-million purchase of land in the Santa Monica Mountains owned by Soka University.
The county will provide $550,000 that was allocated for parks and open space projects in Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky’s Westside district to help buy the 588-acre site.
The rest of the money will come from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, private contributors, other municipalities and the state.
