The University of Southern California, the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles Collaborate to bring Biotech Research and Economic Development to the Neighborhood of Boyle Heights.
While Los Angeles may not have been successful in its bid to be home to the California Institute of Regional Medicine, Los Angeles may yet become a biotech center thanks to the efforts of USC, LA County Supervisor Gloria Molina and LA Mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa. Currently underway is a plan to create a 100 acre biotech park in L.A.s Boyle Heights neighborhood near USCs Health Science Campus. Supervisor Molina, in whose district the project resides, addresses, in this interview with TPR, the potential benefits of the project, its current status, and the demonstrable value of city/county collaborative planning.
