During a recent conversation with Cargomatic’s Weston LaBar, Rex Richardson, the new mayor of Long Beach, California, laid out his vision for the future of the city, with a focus on delivering progress and finding consensus by investing in areas where the most interests intersect.
Richardson has branded his first 100 days in office as the “Opportunity Beach Agenda” and has committed to meeting with 100 businesses to build consensus on growth strategies such as investments in industries that are expected to thrive in Long Beach over the next decade. He is also preparing for a transition from an oil-based economy to one focused on energy and is working with unions and the port to create shovel-ready projects that can compete for state and federal dollars.
