Bloodmobile Visits Redondo Beach Today

Happy Tuesday! Here are five things Redondo Beach residents should know today: 

1. The California Energy Commission will conduct its first site visit of the AES Redondo Beach Generating Station and public hearing, kicking off the process to repower the old power plant on Harbor Drive. The hearing will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center at 1935 Manhattan Beach Blvd. in North Redondo Beach. The Redondo Beach City Council meeting for this week has been canceled due to the site visit.
2. Feel like donating blood? Whole Foods is hosting a Red Cross blood drive at the Redondo Beach market from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. today. More information is available on the community calendar.
