Revitalizing Lankershim Blvd: Inside One of Los Angeles' First JEDI Zone Projects
How can revitalizing just one commercial corridor help strengthen an entire neighborhood?
This project spotlights one of the first completed JEDI Zone initiatives in the City of Los Angeles. Administered by the City’s Economic and Workforce Development Department, the Jobs and Economic Development Incentive (JEDI) Zones program is helping bring new life to a stretch of Lankershim Boulevard through façade improvements for nine local small businesses.
Backed by a $500,000 City investment, these upgrades enhance storefronts, improve curb appeal, and create a more welcoming environment for both customers and the surrounding community.
Many of the participating businesses have served the neighborhood for decades. Business owners share how these improvements are helping attract new customers, while also honoring the long-standing investments they have made in the community.
City leaders highlight how revitalized commercial corridors can boost pedestrian activity, support local economic development, and foster safer, more vibrant neighborhoods. By investing in neighborhood business districts, programs like the JEDI Zone are helping strengthen local economies—one block at a time.
