Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone

Destination Crenshaw, a community-based nonprofit established in 2017, is collaborating with Plenary to develop a community-owned fiber network under the Destination Crenshaw Digital Equity Zone initiative. Based in Los Angeles, California, the project aims to expand digital access and equity within the local community by leveraging infrastructure investment alongside Destination Crenshaw’s existing efforts to revitalize a 1.3-mile corridor through public art, park development, support for local businesses, and job creation for residents, with a strong emphasis on celebrating Black culture and artistic expression. The California Public Utilities Commission is the overseeing agency, with Ruchita Acharya serving as the primary point of contact and CEQA Project Manager, and the initiative is listed as a forecasted opportunity with a posted date of July 22, 2026, indicating it is in the early planning and engagement phase.
