From YouTube: 2022 City of Inglewood State of The City
Description
The City of Inglewood presents its annual State of The City Address.
A
There
was
a
time
when
ingwood
was
rightfully
known
as
the
city
of
Champions
in
the
80s
we
were
home
of
the
three-peat
world
champion
Showtime
Lakers,
the
LA
Kings,
and
we
sold
out
concerts
at
The
Forum,
the
Hollywood
Park
Racetrack
Drew,
an
average
of
43
000
people
six
days
per
week,
then
in
1999,
the
bright
lights
dimmed
and
the
music
began
to
die.
The
Lakers
and
Kings
left
for
Downtown
LA
for
the
Staples
Center
Off
Track
Betting
caused
racetrack
attendance
to
dwindle.
A
We
negotiated
an
agreement
in
2011
with
Madison
Square
Garden
to
loan
MSG,
18
million
dollars
to
Rehabilitation
purposes
of
the
form,
MSG
added
82
million
dollars
to
that
loan
and
in
January
of
2014
the
form
reopened
and
would
become
the
number
one
concert
venue
in
California
marking
the
opening
of
a
new
chapter
in
the
history
of
the
city
in
January
2015,
the
ingwood
city
council
announced
its
pursuit
of
the
Rams
St
Louis
to
relocate
to
our
city
and
over
the
next
two
years.
The
NFL
would
return
to
the
LA
market
after
two
decades.
A
Without
a
professional
football
team,
both
the
Rams
and
the
Chargers
would
Now
call
ingwood
California
their
new
home
playing
at
the
world's
most
magnificent
sports
and
entertainment,
Arena
Sofi
stadium
in
March
of
2019,
the
Girl
Scouts
Greater
Los
Angeles
relocated
their
Regional
headquarters
from
Marina
Del
Rey
to
a
newly
renovated
facility.
Here
in
Inglewood,
in
August
of
2021
YouTube
and
Google
became
official
City
Partners
as
Hollywood
Park
celebrated
the
official
opening
of
a
6
000
seat,
YouTube
theater,
with
a
ribbon
cutting
ceremony
in
September
of
2021,
the
national
media
center
for
the
NFL.
A
A
Our
families
now
have
generational
wealth
within
their
homes
to
pass
on
to
their
children.
Nike,
the
Rams
Chargers
Clippers
Lakers,
the
Dodgers
and
HBO,
have
invested
in
our
youth
by
renovating
our
parks
and
school
ball
fields
and
our
playgrounds.
The
Hollywood
Park
tomorrow
project
has
done
more
than
800
million
dollars
of
business
with
minority-led
and
women-led
disadvantaged
businesses
across
all
of
the
construction
projects,
as
of
February
2022.
A
Over
36
million
dollars
alone
have
gone
to
wages
for
ingwood
residents.
Doing
this
Construction
in
February
of
2022,
the
world
would
see
that
the
new
Englewood
was
the
home
city
of
the
Super
Bowl
56
Champion
Rams,
as
they
took
on
the
Cincinnati
Bengals
after
34
years.
Without
a
professional
sports
championship,
Englewood
was
once
again
the
city
of
Champions
in
2023,
the
city
will
host
WrestleMania
39
and
the
nc2a
championship
football
game
in
2024.
The
Clippers
are
scheduled
to
tip
off
and
bring
NBA
basketball
back
to
Inglewood.
A
A
We're
now
engaged
in
building
the
ITC,
the
English
Transit
connector,
a
1.2
billion
dollar
overhead
conveyance
that
will
connect
the
Crenshaw
line
with
the
sports
Entertainment
District
of
Inglewood,
like
the
legendary
Phoenix
Rising
From,
the
Ashes
Englewood
has
risen
once
again
continue
to
sort
of
heights.
Never
before
imagined
welcome
to
Inglewood,
where
the
only
thing
that
has
changed
is
everything.
