Vision:

Create a “Blueprint for the Future” for implementation on other Long Beach corridors

Mission:

Transforming neighborhoods into one community by creating connectivity and empowering stakeholders from the top of the town to downtown.

Project Overview:
The Connected Corridor is a project of Leadership Long Beach with funding from the Long Beach Community Foundation through a transformational grant by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. It is designed to transform neighborhoods into one community by creating connectivity and empowering stakeholders from the “top of the town to downtown” along Atlantic Avenue. We are in the process of creating a “Blueprint for the Future” for implementation for other possible Long Beach corridors.

It is the first project of its kind to span multiple neighborhoods to build community and connectivity. 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, Rethinking Greater Long Beach as reflective of the entire Long Beach community. Since October 2007, we are building momentum through the involvement and participation of local residents, businesses, local organizations, and neighborhood groups – both formal and informal. Sharing resources and collaborating are all part of this community building work, and it is an encouraging process because it is all about informing, engaging and empowering the people.

TEAM, Together Everyone Achieves More
