The site of the former Boeing 717 plant could play a bigger role in Hollywood or serve as a temporary haven for recreational vehicles and trailers, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reports.


Officials at Boeing Realty Corp. are hoping city leaders will allow them to reuse the defunct manufacturing site on the northeast corner of Conant Street and Lakewood Boulevard on an interim basis for up to 10 years.
