About

As part of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Budget, the Long Beach City Council approved a new five-year (FY 23 – FY 27) infrastructure investment plan totaling over $533 million with over a hundred unique projects, consisting of four main categories: Mobility, Park Improvements, Public Facilities, and Right-of-Way, Water Quality, & Climate Action.

In FY 24, the City expanded the initial five-year plan with an additional $214 million of funding spread across an additional three categories: 2028 Olympic Legacy, Community & Cultural Investments, and Gold Medal Park Refresh Projects and branded the plan as the Elevate ’28 Infrastructure Investment Plan.

The Elevate ’28 Infrastructure Investment Plan previously consisted of over $315 million of Measure A funding and over $440 million of funding anticipated from additional funding sources, such as LA Metro Transportation Funding (Prop A, Prop C, Measure M, Measure R), State Gas Tax, SB-1, LA County Measure W, and various grant awards. This is the largest investment in the City of Long Beach’s public infrastructure in a generation.

In the adopted FY 25 Capital Improvement budget, the Elevate ’28 Infrastructure Investment Plan has significantly expanded and increased its funding by strategically leveraging local Measure A funding to secure an additional $186 million in external state and federal funding, bringing the total infrastructure investment to over $932 million. This $186 million inclusion of external state and federal funding allows the City of Long Beach to continue its investment in public infrastructure.
