Compton has approved a 6-year lease of the City-owned property at 920 N. Alameda Street to Fathers and Mothers Who Care, a long-standing nonprofit serving youth, veterans, and underserved families. The lease activates an idle site, expands community services, boosts local activity, and strengthens potential partnerships with nearby businesses. FMWC’s proven service record makes them a strong fit for this location.

Compton has approved a partnership with The Natelson Dale Group to create a new Economic Development Strategic Plan aimed at strengthening the business climate, revitalizing key corridors, expanding opportunities for small and minority-owned businesses, improving permitting, increasing access to grants, and supporting startups. The plan positions Compton for job growth, investment, and long-term economic revitalization.

The Compton Chamber thanks Verizon for its transformational investment in local students through the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program. With new devices, enhanced connectivity, and expanded STEM resources, 16 Compton schools now benefit from improved digital access. This partnership strengthens educational equity, supports teachers, and empowers the next generation of innovators in Compton.
