Members of SBAOR had a great opportunity to meet the new mayor, just 142 days after he was installed in office. Mayor Furey talked at length about his vision for the city, the great accomplishments of his colleagues on the City Council and the work that remains to be done.
In recent years, the mayor noted, many residents were complaining about the poor quality of the streets and sidewalks. Now the city has embarked on an aggressive program to repave, seal, or repair local streets, sidewalks and infrastructure. Even at the risk of new rounds of complaints for construction traffic, the city is clearly on the right track.
In addition, Mayor Furey talked about Torrance as an attractive hub for businesses looking to locate in Los Angeles County. With the disappointing departure of Toyota that was announced more than a year ago, the mayor has not rested and he is working hard to attract large businesses and their investments and jobs to the city.
SBAOR hosts the Breakfast with the Mayor series approximately four times per year. Stay tuned in 2015 for more opportunities to get to know the elected leadership of our cities in the South Bay.
