Council Member Alonso raises concerns over north Woodier Boulevard business plan

The Montebello City Council meeting on May 28, 2025, featured a presentation by Director Salazar, which sparked a discussion among council members regarding local business developments.

Council Member Alonso expressed gratitude for the report and acknowledged the efforts made in promoting new businesses such as Ace Hardware, Topgolf, Yardhouse, and Round 1. However, he raised concerns about the concentration of these developments primarily north of Woodier Boulevard. Alonso's comments highlighted a potential imbalance in business opportunities across different areas of the city, suggesting that while growth is welcomed, it should be more evenly distributed to benefit all residents.

The meeting underscored the council's ongoing commitment to fostering economic development while also addressing community concerns about equitable access to new business opportunities. Further discussions may be necessary to ensure that all neighborhoods in Montebello can share in the benefits of local entrepreneurship.
