4 billion state parks bond measure could help Redondo Beach acquire open space at AES site

Redondo Beach is one step closer to potentially turning a portion of the AES power plant site into open space under a parks bond measure expected to go before California voters in 2018.

Senate Bill 5, which calls for $4 billion for a variety of parks and water projects throughout the state, was passed by the state Legislature late last week and is expected to be signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. It would be designated for the June 2018 ballot.
