A New Gateway to Wilmington Industrial Park
Businesses and their customers will be welcomed to Wilmington Industrial Park by a new entrance gateway on Alameda Street at E Street.
The proposed new gateway will feature a landmark sign for the business park and landscaping that flanks the E Street entrance. Landscaping will include Canary Island Pines and Liquid Amber trees, shrubs, ground cover and an automatic irrigation system so the plant life can thrive.
A Million Trees for LA; Hundreds for WIP
CRA/LA and the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) have been working closely with the Mayor’s Office to plant new trees in Wilmington under the Mayor’s Million Trees Los Angeles (MTLA) initiative. In the Wilmington Industrial Park, 300 of these trees will be planted in the public right of way along sidewalks. Additionally, trees will be available to property owners at NO COST .
