Costco Breaks Ground in South Los Angeles
Union Carpenters and WSRCC EST Frank Hawk were present in the Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw neighborhood for the Costco ground breaking. This project is possible thanks to recent law changes which streamline development for mixed use and low-income residential projects. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass personally thanked Western District Vice President Pete Rodriguez, and the Carpenters for bringing this initiative to the table. We look forward to bringing union jobs, competitive wages, and benefits to South LA.
