LOS ANGELES -- The Board of Supervisors voted today to start soliciting bids to tear down some of Los Angeles County's most dilapidated government office buildings to build a new headquarters for the Department of Mental Health and one or more residential towers.
Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas championed the redevelopment of more than 1 million square feet of county office space along a quarter-mile stretch of South Vermont Avenue between 4th and 6th streets.
