Anderson Park to Host Juneteenth Celebration on June 14 Due to Mills Park Construction

The City of Carson's Reclamation Authority meeting on April 7, 2025, focused on preparations for the upcoming Juneteenth celebration and updates on local construction projects.

The meeting began with an announcement regarding the Juneteenth celebration, scheduled for June 14. Due to ongoing construction at Mills Park, the event will be relocated to Anderson Park, a venue traditionally used for the city's jazz festival. Organizers emphasized the importance of the celebration and encouraged residents to mark their calendars, noting that flyers would be distributed soon.

In addition to the Juneteenth preparations, the meeting included discussions about the Leonardo Drive construction project. Officials confirmed that work is set to begin in a couple of weeks, with an estimated completion time of 18 months. The authority plans to hold a groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the start of this significant project, which has generated considerable interest among community members.

The meeting concluded with a request to present a report to the city council on the progress of these initiatives, with a proposed date for the report set for either May 6 or May 21. This report will likely include updates and photos to showcase the developments in the city.
