A People-First Investment in Inglewood’s Future—Built by Inglewood, for Inglewood.
The rephased plan is built based on insights gained through engagement with the Inglewood community, including workshops and one-on-one meetings with business owners and community members. Project supporters view the reimagined approach as a critical first step in meeting the core needs of Inglewood residents and businesses, including traffic relief, connected and walkable neighborhoods, and a more accessible downtown area.
The ITC Project provides new transit connectivity, traffic reduction, economic prosperity and quality of life benefits to the City of Inglewood and region. Key benefits include:
Supporting economic investment and redevelopment
Reducing vehicular traffic congestion while maintaining existing roadway capacity
Encouraging transit as a primary mode of travel
Alleviating growing demand on Inglewood’s existing streets and roadways
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help improve air quality
Creating a convenient and environmentally-sustainable transit connection
to and from Inglewood’s new major employment, commercial, and activity center
MoveLA believes that the ITC, which will provide high quality transportation links to ensure that people can come from across the region to work at the stadiums and visit associated businesses in Inglewood, is vital to transit dependent workers and the many jobs it will create.
As someone who is part of the community, I know how important it is to have better transportation options. The ITC is going to provide that…whether it’s going to work, a game, or running errands.
Support for Inglewood Businesses That Need to be Relocated
Recognizing the importance of local storefronts to the community, the City is taking a proactive and transparent approach to ensure businesses, which must be relocated to advance the project, are empowered to thrive. Thanks to careful planning and community engagement, the number of businesses impacted by the ITC Project has been reduced from the originally projected 44 to 23. Each of these businesses will receive robust relocation support, supplemental grants, and promotional assistance consistent with state and federal requirements and reinforcing the City’s strong commitment to helping them remain in Inglewood and continue to grow as part of its vibrant local economy.
Our support for businesses that will need to be relocated includes:
- Relocation assistance to help businesses move with minimal strain, ensuring they can continue to serve the community without added disruption.
- Grants to provide businesses with the financial resources they need to stay strong and operational, including support for improving their spaces to maintain competitiveness.
- Promotional assistance, marketing tools, and enhanced signage, offering businesses the tools and resources they need to grow stronger than before.
For more details on business relocation and available support, see our Business Relocation Plan & Business Support Programs FAQs. Please contact us if you have additional questions about business relocation.
Right-of-way acquisition:
The City will need to acquire two sites, located at Market & Florence and Market & Manchester.
Staff anticipates seeking authorization to initiate this process with offers to property owners by the end of the year. After that milestone, businesses will be eligible for relocation assistance pursuant to state and federal requirements
Relocated businesses are eligible for a range of benefits under federal and state law, including advisory assistance and direct financial assistance for moving and re-establishment expenses and loss of goodwill.
Because determination of benefits eligibility is an individualized process that depends on each business’ operating history and needs, a dedicated relocation agent assigned to each business will evaluate their eligibility, answer questions, and help the business with the entire process to ensure they receive all avalable benefits and assistance.
The City will provide ongoing assistance during the relocation process and will make every effort to relocate all businesses to a suitable and desired location of their choice – ideally within the City and on or close to Market Street – to the extent possible and desired. To assist with this effort, a dedicated business relocation specialist, Jesse Ortiz from Monument, has been engaged to support businesses with their individual relocation needs. For assistance, please contact Jesse Ortiz at info@inglewoodtransitconnector.com or call (800) 577-0109.
The City is also implementing the Destination Market Street Program to revitalize downtown Inglewood’s Market Street by providing grants to existing and new businesses to support façade and tenant improvements. This program is anticipated to launch in Summer 2025 and will set aside funds for relocated business to support their reestablishment on Market Street, if they choose to relocate to the Market Street area.
We support the ITC, which will provide apprenticeship training, a local hire component, and will not only provide good transportation, but it will also provide career opportunities to veterans and disadvantaged workers.
We are supporting the ITC as a way of connecting [not only to] the world-class arenas and stadiums, but to downtown Inglewood where we [host] concerts, comedy, and community events.
