About Us:
Lynwood is a 4.9 square mile community within Los Angeles County, CA located between two major freeways, Interstate 710 and Interstate 105, making the City accessible to major airports. Lynwood is approximately 14 miles from the Los Angeles International Airport and nine miles from the Long Beach Airport.

Since Lynwood's incorporation in 1921, it continues to move forward on a path of progress. The City's many accomplishments can be attributed to its aggressive redevelopment program that has attracted new businesses and industry alike.

Today, Lynwood is home to a host of booming retail centers including Atlantic Crossing that consists of Walgreens, Starbuck, and Panda Express. Another center is the Long Beach Pluma Shopping Center which is anchored by Smart & Final and 99 Cent Only Store. One of the City's largest redevelopment projects is Plaza Mexico, situated in the downtown area of Lynwood.

In addition, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency is focusing on reviving the City's downtown area, in which Long Beach Boulevard will be the focal point. The Agency's goal is to enter into exclusive contracts to recreate a downtown area through projects that will contain traditional commercial retail projects, including mixed-use projects that will contain design features to encourage pedestrian activity. Pedestrian nodes, street furniture, hardscape and landscape, and unique paving patterns will be used to reshape the area and encourage economic development.

In years to come, Lynwood's redevelopment progress will change the city's physical landscape- making Lynwood the desirable place to be.
