Arcadia city officials adopt a 5-year redevelopment plan. The major goals are the expansion of the Rusnak Mercedes Benz auto dealership, development around the future Gold Line station and several affordable housing programs. The city demolished the Church of Arcadia's old building at 21 Morlan Place in September to make room for a parking lot that could be used by Rusnak.
The city Planning Commission approved a plan for a senior citizen condominium complex across the street from the Santa Anita Park race track. It will be 78 units. A 58-year old motel will be demolished.
A September grand opening is tentatively planned for Heritage Park Arcadia, a 54-unit development at 150 W. Las Tunas Drive. It provides housing for low income seniors and meets the special needs of elderly.
