Nearly five months after the Palisades Fire devastated the area, Mayor Karen Bass announced on June 6, 2025, that AECOM, a global infrastructure firm, will collaborate with the city and Hagerty Consulting to create a comprehensive rebuilding plan for Pacific Palisades.
This initiative focuses on reconstructing utilities and infrastructure while fostering public-private collaboration, offering hope for a faster, more organized recovery despite earlier criticisms of the city’s disaster response and contractor choices.
