Arcadia to spend $450,000 to upgrade Planning Department and Public Works Department software to streamline how city personnel track building permits and the condition of equipment and infrastructure.
Raising a failing preservation grade. The Los Angeles Conservancy has given Arcadia an "F" in historic preservation. The city is working to remedy this with a preservation effort started over a year ago. A city-wide intensive level survey will enable the city to gain a better understanding of where significant historic resources are located and to plan for their preservation. The next step would be to pass a historic preservation ordinance.
