City Controller Ron Galperin on Thursday released PropertyPanel.LA, the most sweeping map ever made of city properties. He also called upon city officials to hire an asset manager to oversee 9,000 holdings.
“Now everyone can know what we all own a piece of,” said Galperin, in a statement. “The extent of the holdings revealed by this map shows that we as a City have the opportunity to engage in widespread economic and community development, as well as to generate revenue for much-needed city services.”
The new city map employs data from the Los Angeles County Assessor and the City’s General Services Department to illustrate the city’s roughly 9,000 parcels, including land around LAX and the Port of L.A. and properties owned by the Dept. of Water & Power. Go to www.propertypanel.la.
“PropertyPanel.LA is intended as an informational tool, as a resource,” Galperin said, “and as a call to action for the City to undertake a more organized, professional and strategic approach to our valuable shared public assets.”
