More Than 100 Community Leaders, Small Business Owners, Faith-Based Organizations, Elected Officials, and Labor Leaders Join Effort to Revitalize Inglewood and Surrounding Communities and Support AB 987
INGLEWOOD— Today, Assemblywoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Los Angeles), announced a new broad-based coalition in support of AB 987, legislation that will help stimulate the local economy and create thousands of quality sustainable jobs while helping improve local government services. The California Legislative Black Caucus is the most recent organization to endorse the bill, representing 11 State Senators and State Assemblymembers from across California. The growing coalition demonstrates overwhelming support for Inglewood revitalization and the new LA Clippers Inglewood Basketball Arena Complex.

“The revitalization bill for the Inglewood region continues to gain momentum with growing support from a diverse and dedicated coalition who are committed to improving the quality of life for families and children in my community,” said Assemblywoman Sydney Kamlager- Dove, (D-Los Angeles). “Supporters know that AB 987 will help stimulate economic development and create new opportunities with high-wage jobs that lift people out of poverty and into the middle class. I look forward to working with community leaders, small-business owners, faith-based leaders, local officials and my colleagues in the State Legislature to pass this legislation and continue our region’s historic revitalization process.”
Senator Steven Bradford (35th District) stands among the bill’s earliest advocates. He pushed to streamline the CEQA process through his support of SB789, the California Environmental Quality Act: Sports and Entertainment Project.

About AB 987:
AB 987 seeks to provide the new LA Clippers arena project with streamlining relief similar to what was permitted for the Sacramento Kings arena and the Golden State Warriors arena in San Francisco. AB 987 still requires a full and comprehensive Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the new Inglewood arena project and requires the new facility to be LEED Gold Certified. The legislation passed the Senate Environmental Quality Committee, Senate Judiciary Committee and Senate Appropriations Committee, and now heads to the full Senate for a floor vote.
LA Clippers Arena Background:
In 2017, the City of Inglewood and the LA Clippers NBA basketball team entered into a three- year Exclusive Negotiating Agreement to build a new, state-of-the-art sports arena, creating more than 10,000 jobs and generating millions of dollars in new tax revenues to help improve Inglewood city services and community programs. The proposed site is located on the southeast corner of Century Boulevard and Prairie Avenue, about three miles east of LAX.
The LA Clippers arena project, which will be built entirely with private funds, seeks to convert mostly vacant, city-owned land under the flight path of LAX aircraft and turn it into thriving, productive community uses for the residents of Inglewood and surrounding cities.
