A rebirth of what has basically transpired into a fading business district which represents the final front for the Black community here in Los Angeles. Our goal is to give the business community a shot in the arm; a transfusion of new life, activity and revenue. We want to develop a thriving business community and a supportive consumer base. Then showcase this location to the tourist world as a shining example of a great people coming together.

Not quite like Harlem, but without a Leimert Park, the Black community will have no presence in Los Angeles. The Black community will become an invisible people lost in a transition of economic deprivation.

The Leimert Park Renaissance represents the unification and revitalization of a community’s once glorious past.

Based in the heart of Leimert Park the Visitors and Information Center is located in the LPV/CDC located at 3347 W. 43rd Street. The Information Center will publish a quarterly newsletter for the merchants and a monthly Journal targeted for the residential and tourist markets, maintain a community website, manage a village-wide marketing plan, promote tours and coordinate activities with Black Meetings & Tours, The Los Angeles Visitors and Information Center and the Los Angeles Conventions and Tourist Bureau. Please visit our website at: www.leimertparkvillage.org or www.africanamericanla.com.
