As Long Beach gears up to host multiple events for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, nearly $1 billion in public and private investment is flowing into the city — improving our streets, housing, and waterfront.

Here’s what to expect:

Better Transit & Safer Streets The Elevate ’28 initiative includes 180+ mobility projects — from smoother roads and upgraded intersections to improved pedestrian and bike access. These changes aim to make it easier for residents and visitors alike to get around safely and efficiently.

Housing & Neighborhood Revitalization The city is coupling Olympic momentum with community investment — prioritizing affordable housing, small business support, and public space upgrades that benefit Long Beach long after the Games end.

Waterfront Revival Expect a cleaner, more vibrant shoreline. Planned updates include Belmont Pier enhancements, Convention Center improvements, and a renewed Queen Mary district, transforming our waterfront into a true showpiece for Southern California.

Why It Matters Beyond the Games, these improvements strengthen our city’s foundation — boosting property values, tourism, and overall livability.

The Olympics are temporary, but the legacy will be local.
