Long Beach will relocate Alamitos Beach senior center; neighbors wonder what will happen when it’s gone
Those who live near the facility worry that existing crime and safety problems will get significantly worse once the old center is vacant.
After nearly a half-century in the Alamitos Beach area, Long Beach’s Fourth Street senior center will relocate in the next few years to a spot almost a mile away in the East Village.
The city wants to hear from residents about what they want to see in the new center, which will occupy the ground floor of an Elm Avenue building that will also house a new crime lab for the police department and some city offices. A public workshop is scheduled Thursday, and an online survey is available through Sept. 30.
