Florence-Firestone Vacant Lot Activation

Saturday, September 20, 2025, 2:00 – 5:00 PM

Project:

We are transforming the vacant lot at E. 77th Street and Central Avenue into a temporary community hub as part of Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell’s Corridors 2 Community Initiative. This initiative focuses on community-led revitalization of small business corridors in unincorporated communities in LA County’s 2nd District, including Florence-Firestone.

Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI) and Florence-Firestone Community Organization (FFCO) are partnering with the County of Los Angeles to host a series of pop-up events over 6 months, bringing resources and services directly to the community.

These events will feature:

— Opportunities for residents to share their vision for the future of historic Central Avenue

— Live music and cultural activities

— Food and local vendors

— Services for small business owners

— County and community resources

— Free food for the first 75 participants!

Join us for FREE these resources, activities, and services for Florence-Firestone community members & businesses.
