A Los Angeles County Grand Jury's report, which last week criticized the West Covina Redevelopment Agency as inefficient and disorganized, has recommended that the city reconsider the proposed terms of a $117-million mall expansion, scheduled for approval on Monday.
The grand jury urged the West Covina City Council and Redevelopment Agency to negotiate a better deal for the proposed Fashion Plaza shopping mall expansion. The developers, Sylvan S. Shulman and May Centers Inc., are asking for all of the new property tax revenue and more than 75% of the sales taxes created by the expansion. The project would add a new department store and additional mall space.
