LANCASTER – The North Los Angeles County Regional Center will be relocating and expanding from its existing 20,000 square foot facility in the Lancaster Business Park to a facility double its size at a revitalized property on 10th Street West in Lancaster.
NLACRC is a non-profit organization under contract with the California Department of Developmental Services to provide community-based services to persons of all ages who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. NLACRC has been serving the Antelope, San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valley areas for more than 35 years and currently serves over 18,000 individuals. Most of the services are free regardless of age or income.
“The crucial services provided by the North Los Angeles County Regional Center enrich our community as a whole and we are very pleased to see these services expand within the city,” Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris stated in a news release.
The new 40,000 square foot site currently under construction is an infill development which will help eliminate blight along one of the major thoroughfares of the city.
Fraber Properties, the developer for this project, is working extensively to revitalize the property. The original building sat vacant for years and was blighted and deteriorated. Thanks to the efforts of Fraber Properties Principal Frank Visco, the dilapidated structure has been demolished and a brand-new building is being constructed to meet the needs of NLACRC.
The new facility is slated to open next year. NLACRC’s current building, located at 43210 Gingham Avenue, Suite 6, will remain open until then.

I will stay says
Frank Visco co-founded NLACRC in 1974, and is Charter President. He should be a part of this for California Center for Developmental Services. Thank you.
Vic says
What a guy. There is nothing Frank would not do for …………………………………………….money.
Cynic says
Frank Visco continues to enrich himself at the expense of Lancaster.
Scott Visco says
It would be nice if the LA County DA focused their attention on the multiple insider deals in Lancaster rather than wasting tax dollars trying to put Ledford away.
Not to be a spoiler here, but Ledford will walk soon and a lot of money will have been wasted. Why? Because of Mayor R. Rex Parris and his pit bull DUI Drew . they had no case. They had vengence, political motive, and the ear of those in power.
It is pretty enlightening to see what getting a DUI reduced and divorce advice will get you, not to mention hosting a few fund raisers at your desert palace.
FBI, LA County DA, an honest journalist. Anyone. There is a story here in Lancaster that needs to be told. Parris has personally destroyed lives. He has enriched many on the city’s dime.
The truth is out there.

This is wonderful for those that have intellectual and developmental disabilities. I see good happening in both Lancaster and Palmdale.
East Lancaster says
I live in East Lancaster. I don’t see much good. I would like to move to Palmdale but I can’t afford to right now.
Ha! says
Give it a rest, William…er….I mean “East Lancaster” (my bad!)
9Seven3Five says
Aaah Yes… What would the city of Lancaster do wtihout the “efforts” of Fraber Properties Principal Frank Visco….
Makes it sound as though this was a charitable donation…
Eye on Lancaster says
Nice to see Frank Visco (again) getting another deal with the city of Lancaster. Besides Visco and Ehrlich, does anyone else ever get deals? Between the two, whodo you think has made more at the government trough? You have to love these Lancaster ‘Republicans’.
