A nonprofit has purchased now-demolished oil drilling site in South Los Angeles and plans to transform it into a park, community center and affordable housing.
The Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust recently bought the 1.86-acre dirt lot, after a years-long battle with the local community, for nearly $10 million.
The nonprofit and its partners are trying to get grants and other funding to pay for planning, remediation and project execution.
While the project could help the city with its affordable housing shortage, critics have raised environment concerns about the site.
