City pursuing federal Battery Barns property with support from congressional offices to rebuild Wayfarers Chapel, mayor says
Summary
Mayor Paul Seo said the city is seeking transfer of federal 'Battery Barns' property and that Congressman Ted Lieu submitted a testimonial supporting the city's request; the city hopes the site could host a rebuilt Wayfarers Chapel as a historic landmark.
Rancho Palos Verdes officials are pursuing federal property known locally as "Battery Barns" for potential city use, including a possible site to rebuild the historic Wayfarers Chapel, Mayor Paul Seo said on City Talk.
Swanson referenced outreach to a congressman's office; Seo said the property is federal and the city is seeking to have it returned to local control. He singled out Representative Ted Lieu for submitting a testimonial in support of the city's request.
Seo said if the transfer succeeds the city hopes to "put Wayfarers Chapel out there as a historical landmark and have it set back up and rebuilt and brought back to the city." He characterized the effort as ongoing advocacy with federal partners.
No timeline, transactional details or formal transfer steps were described in the interview; Seo asked residents to "stay tuned" for future updates as work continues with congressional offices.
