EXHIBIT A <br />COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES PLAN <br />Community Benefits Proposal <br />Double Down Management will take great pride in serving and caring for the residents of Santa Ana and <br />becoming an integral part of the community. Our main purpose as a Cannabis Distribution Facility is to <br />ensure that all Santa Ana residents who chose to consume cannabis have access to pesticide free, mold <br />free cannabis, heavy metal free cannabis, and that all customers clearly know and understand the potency <br />and terpene levels of their products. <br />From the moment we start operations we will be dedicated to giving back the residents, local businesses, <br />local government, and beautifying the area surrounding our facility. We will implement <br />proven business policies that benefit those living and working in Santa Ana. In addition to the tax revenue, <br />we will provide the City, we take pride in offering our high wages, creating, and enrolling in community <br />programs, improving our immediate area through our beautification plan, creating a community relations <br />program that will mitigate and address any neighborhood concerns, implementing a proactive <br />environmental plan. <br />Health Education and Prevention Strategies <br />Double Down Management recognizes the community' s concerns with health education and prevention, <br />and ensuring the local children are protected. As such, our goals closely align with Santa Ana charitable <br />institutions, which we are currently researching. We will look to established and vetting organizations such <br />as those recommended by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce; such as the Santa Ana YMCA and Orange <br />County Head Start. Our goal is to reduce substance abuse and improve the overall health of Santa Ana' s <br />youth through shaping environmental policies, education, and mobilizing the community. We believe <br />education and mobilization are the best methods to reach the youth and to prevent future/ current <br />substance abuse. <br />Economic Benefit <br />Double Down Management will not only try to be an active member of the community by working with <br />initiatives and offering our assistance to programs, we will also provide the community with a significant <br />economic benefit. Based on our projects, we will be providing the city with a substantial economic benefit <br />in the form of tax revenue. <br />To further benefit the residents of Santa Ana we will also focus on hiring local. We will give all Santa Ana <br />residents who apply a preference in the hiring process. Currently, our hiring plan includes wage ranges <br />from eighteen dollars ($ 18. 00) per hour for our entry level positions, to over one hundred thousand <br />dollars ($ 100,000,00) per year for our management staff. We offer health benefits, retirement benefits, as <br />well as sick pay and holiday pay. <br />Community Outreach and Support <br />10 <br />
