LA COUNTY ART FEE HEARING DELAYED

The Art Fee Ordinance has been continued until April 2019, requested by the County Arts Commission. Last year, the RPC reviewed the countywide Art Fee Ordinance, and asked staff to draft an updated ordinance to include both affordable housing and residential development, and to provide more incentives for developers. All residential development was previously exempted. To become involved in these efforts please contact BIA-LAV Director of Government Affairs, Diana Coronado,

"
With about 30 years in the building business, I have learned to appreciate the value of people and connections. The BIA-LAV has been a great way to stay connected to the building industry. The BIA-LAV has helped me meet new people, stay current on new trends, products and regulation. I find it a valuable resource.
