In December of 2023, the City received notice that the State of California set aside $5,000,000 for Redondo Beach to acquire land at the AES Power Plant site for the development of a public park and/or wetlands area.
The California State Department of Parks and Recreation has been delegated the responsibility for administering the City's grant funds and for setting up the procedures needed to govern the related grant application. Per the Department, approval and submission of the recommended Resolution is the next step in the grant process.

Once the Resolution is approved, the California Department of Parks and Recreation will provide the City with a contract. Once the contract is executed, the California Department of Parks and Recreation will formally award the $5,000,000 to the City of Redondo Beach.
