For decades during the 20th Century, with millions of people traveling westward, Union Station was destined to become a launching pad for the American dream. As one of the most beautiful public buildings in Los Angeles and a local, state, and national historic treasure, Union Station has played a special role in fulfilling LA's function as a metropolitan beacon for California, one of the world's largest economies. Please join us to hear from one of the state’s leading authorities in urban redevelopment about the re-visioning of Union Station through a forthcoming master plan being prepared by the Los Angeles County Transportation Authority (METRO).
Guest Speaker: Calvin Hollis, Executive Officer, Countywide Planning & Development, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
