WHAT: Home owners and concerned residents will protest Bisno Development sponsored turkey dinner to sell Senior Citizens on a 125 acre development project; without warning of Eminent Domain dangers. The 125 acre development located in the heart of Baldwin Park has identified the demolition of over 600 homes and businesses. The demolition will make way for a mixed use project proposed by Century City based Bisno Development.

WHEN: 5:00p.m., Tuesday, November 14, 2007

BACKGROUND:

Home owners and concerned BP residents have united against the proposed demolition of 125 acres which will make way for a mixed use development proposed by Century City based Bisno Development.

Bisno Developer outreach efforts to Senior Citizens include sponsoring a ?Last Supper? Turkey dinner to promote 125 acre project. The Century City based developer has launched a campaign to gain support from Senior Citizens and community organizations such as the Women?s Club and others.

Bisno Development has hired political strategist Ricardo Monroy as the Vice President of Public Affairs. Mr. Monroy has been aggressively selling the residents of Baldwin Park empty dreams and promises of prosperity.

The developer has showcased several renderings of his proposed project and highlighting the amenities and services that will be offered by the new project. What Mr. Monroy and Bisno leave out is the hidden costs to the current homeowners and residents of Baldwin Park. The threat of eminent domain is clear the developer has targeted hundreds of homes and businesses for demolition. Once the project is completed the developer hopes the demographic of the community will change and entice wealthier young professionals to move into the New Baldwin Park.

Councilwoman Marlen Garcia stated at a the Council meeting of September 19, 2007 that anyone who was not in agreement could go to TJ (Tijuana).

Councilman Anthony Bejarano at the same meeting when asked were will the current occupants of the area would go? Bejarano stated ?they can go to East Los Angeles?.

At the September 19, 2007 meeting Councilman Bejarano stated that the police department was a luxury, as he referred his comments to the Police Officers Association.
