Key takeaway James Morris, the district’s county administrator, told The LA Local that Think True LLC, the company that leased the site from the district, plans to convert the heavy-duty but temporary structure into a permanent event space.
Why this matters in The Los Angeles
The conversion of the Jordan Brand tent into a permanent event space for the Inglewood Unified School District brings a welcome boost to the community's educational infrastructure. With the district able to use the space for career fairs, PTA fundraisers, and other events, local students and families will have increased access to resources and opportunities. The fact that the lease requires no rent payments, in exchange for Think True's investment in the property, is a savvy move by the district to secure a valuable asset without incurring additional costs. As the district explores potential extensions of the lease, it will be worth watching how the space is utilized and whether it becomes a hub for community activity. The presence of a permanent basketball court and other amenities will also be a draw for local groups and organizations, potentially fostering greater collaboration and engagement between the school district and the broader Inglewood community.
