Media & Technology:

 

NEW Neighborhood website for the city!www.everythinglongbeach.com

Their mission is to provide an outlet for neighborhood organizations, nonprofit groups, PTAs, small business owners, council members, city services, and the Long Beach community at large to share their news. Limelight LB is also featured on this website. Super job connecting with the community and other sources of news.

 

 

 

Leadership Long Beach is committed to the important work of “Transforming, Connecting and Empowering the Atlantic Corridor Community.” In the short time period of this project, we have created a rigorous outreach program to connect with key stakeholders and partners who live and work along the Corridor. The Atlantic Corridor or the Connected Corridor, as we refer to it, bisects the city from north to south and is identified by social demographers and community developers as reflective of the entire Long Beach community.

 

We are receiving positive and genuine interest for more information about the Connected Corridor project from the community. This website can be used for updates and ongoing communication. The key to this project is active citizenship.

 

Together, we can “connect the dots” along the Connected Corridor.
