Clarified: Waste Plant May Be Near (Not At) Levitz Site

AS EARLIER REPORTED here on the Newbie blog, the City of Los Angeles is considering the old Levitz Furniture site in North Atwater Village (5375 West San Fernando Road) for a facility that would convert garbage to usable energy. Today comes a slight clarification from LA City Councilman Tom LaBonge's office, via Sunroom Desk: Councilman LaBonge suggested the River Glen area of Atwater, near the Levitz site but not necessarily the existing building. The Bureau of Sanitation is currently conducting an analysis of this and other sites around the City and will report their findings and feasibility recommendations to the Council members. Words theirs, italics mine. So consider it clarified. And prepare your comments and questions for the next Department of Public Works workshop for North Central LA: Tuesday March 24, 6:00 p.m., El Centro Del Pueblo, 1157 Lemoyne Street.
