Industrial District

...The Los Angeles Downtown Industrial District (LADID) covers 44 blocks, a district with boundaries roughly between Third (on the north) and Eighth and Olympic (on the south), San Pedro (on the west) and Alameda (on the east) Streets. Established as a Business Improvement District (BID), this manufacturing and wholesale District is comprised of mostly seafood, fresh and frozen produce, cold storage and other food related services.

...The District is the hub of the food chain in Southern California and hosts the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market, which has 550,000 sq. ft. on 30 acres. It is the second largest produce market in the United States generating annual revenues of $2 billion.

...Recently, banners identifying the Industrial District were installed on 10 blocks of Alameda, a major thoroughfare in the Industrial District. The banners were a result of a CCEA project partnering with a Los Angeles City program and Inner-City Arts students. The CCEA BID provides security 24 hours a day, seven days a week and maintenance services are operating from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday.
