In our last update we shared that we were moving along in the process to Save The Mafundi. Our next step was to attend the Cultural Heritage Commission's final public hearing. We are pleased to report that the Commission voted to unanimously and enthusiastically nominate the Mafundi Building as a local historic cultural monument.
The nomination has now been forwarded to the City Council's Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) committee for their recommendation. Their recommendation will finally be sent to the full City Council for final approval or denial. We are confident that the nomination will go uncontested.
We will let you know what the PLUM Committee and final City Council says. In the meantime, FAM is putting all their efforts now into reviving and rehabilitating the Watts Happening Cultural Center / Mafundi Building. We truly appreciate your continued support!
