Changing Face of Compton

fireworks3
Compton is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. It is home to almost 100,000 citizens. Known as the “Hub City” because of its unique position in almost the exact geographical center of Los Angeles County, Compton is strategically located along the Alameda Corridor, a passageway of 25 percent of all U.S. waterborne international trade. Compton is rapidly emerging as a large industrial center in Los Angeles County for transit and distribution, business services, high technology, home and lifestyle products, metals, financial services, and textile manufacturing.
 

Martin Luther King Jr. Transit Center Expansion

Please be advised. During the reconstruction of the Martin Luther King Jr. Transit Center and its surrounding areas, the City of Compton will temporarily close the Eastside of Willowbrook Avenue from Compton Blvd. to Elm St. from August 31, 2009 through March 2010. Please follow all detour and directional signage posted during this time.
