As the South Bay prepares to welcome visitors for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, Super Bowl LXI and the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, we are entering a once-in-a-generation period for our region. Major venues, infrastructure upgrades and transportation improvements are changing how our community and visitors move through and experience Los Angeles. Along the San Pedro waterfront, West Harbor is part of that shift—not just as a new dining, shopping and entertainment destination but as a continuation of this community’s relationship with the water.
Twenty-six small businesses (24 in Gardena and two in neighboring unincorporated areas) are celebrating significant energy savings and enhanced community service thanks to no-cost, comprehensive energy efficiency assessments and upgrades made possible through the SoCalREN Commercial Energy Efficiency Programs, conducted in partnership with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG).
On March 26, the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) will host its 26th annual conference, bringing together South Bay communities to address emerging issues facing the subregion. This year's event will explore the South Bay’s transformation into a hub for sports and entertainment and the impact this evolution is having on the economy and environment. Allen Sanford, a South Bay native and entrepreneur who created BeachLife Festival and recently opened California Surf Club in The Waterfront, Redondo Beach will be a speaker at the event. He shares his insights about how sports and entertainment are shaping the South Bay.
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) and Southern California Regional Energy Network (SoCalREN) teamed up to award 19 South Bay classrooms grants of $1,000 each ($19,000 total) for taking energy-saving actions at home. Classrooms representing Hawthorne School District and Los Angeles Unified School District earned the rewards through SoCalREN’s Kits for Kids program for third and fourth grade students. The program provides hands-on education about the benefits of energy efficiency.
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) in partnership with the Southern California Regional Energy Network (SoCalREN) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), recognized South Bay cities for their efforts in pursuing energy-efficiency initiatives and sustainability-related tasks over the past year as part of the third annual “South Bay Energy and Climate Recognition Program.”
Public access to the beach is so deeply tied to who we are as Californians that it’s hard to imagine a time when it wasn’t guaranteed. Newly appointed Coastal Commissioner Ray Jackson (also the SBCCOG's 2nd Vice Chair and a Hermosa Council member), explores what he has learned about the work it takes to defend these protections "every single day."
In October, the SBCCOG hosted an energy efficiency technology showcase at its office in Torrance to advance those connections. It offered an opportunity for SoCalREN-approved businesses to present services and energy technology options to cities and agencies. Representatives from eight cities and one special district across the South Bay attended. Eight businesses, ranging from building resource companies to energy contractors, showcased their offerings.
Measure R, passed by voters in 2008, is a half-cent sales tax used to finance new transportation projects and programs, and accelerate those already in the pipeline. The SBCCOG manages nearly $831 million in Measure R funds through the South Bay Highway Program. The SBCCOG also prioritizes and manages the spending and disbursement of Measure M funds to member jurisdictions for local projects, many of which are smaller in cost and scale and take less time to implement than Measure R projects, which can take decades to plan and complete. Learn about the impact these measures have had on South Bay transportation.
A Hero's Welcome - Newly formed organization partners with the SBCCOG in its mission to help the South Bay's unhoused through a care-first, person-centered approach.
