TRG developed a grass-roots strategy that engages residents throughout Inglewood and inspires them to share their visions on how best to use land that had been vacant for over 20 years. Through a number of workshops, living room meetings and backyard gatherings, TRG led a public awareness campaign that identified appropriate mitigation measures and garnered widespread support for the proposed Arena. TRG is especially proud to have worked closely with a broad range of Inglewood stakeholders and the Clippers organization in developing an unprecedented Community Benefits Program. This program commits $75 million towards local Affordable Housings Programs, $5 million towards supporting first time home buyers and renters and $20 million for youth and family programs.
The project's Good Neighbor Program, crafted by TRG, delivers customized benefits to residents living within the vicinity of the project affected by construction, aiming to reduce disruptions and improve neighborhood well-being. TRG actively engages with the Inglewood community through various outreach efforts, including hosting and participating in local events and hosting regular community meetings to update residents on the project's progress and address any questions or concerns. To date, we’ve participated in over 45 events where we’ve had the opportunity to provide Clippers’ swag giveaways, refreshments from local vendors, and sponsored activities, like face painting, local Mariachi bands, games, among others. Weekly construction notices keep residents informed, helping to minimize disruptions. Overall, TRG is committed to building positive relationships and maintaining transparency throughout the construction process.
