Santa Ana by virtue of its rich history, location in <br />the heart of Orange County and large Hispanic population, has always been a vitally important city in our <br />efforts to bring more opportunities to those businesses and their employees we represent. <br />Related Bristol is a special kind of mixed -used development that marries the best of what we advocate for: <br />local investment in the community, significant job creation and access to new opportunities and experiences <br />for all individuals. The project will be the single largest private investment at $3 billion in Santa Ana's 154-year <br />history. Creating 7,600 new jobs and delivering $10.7 million in annual tax revenue is a game changer for Santa <br />Ana as well as those businesses and individuals who will work at project during construction or once it is <br />completed. Add to all of this the Related's commitment to hire locally where possible and the project stands to <br />set a new standard for development in Santa Ana. <br />Beyond the impressive economic benefits, Related Bristol will create what every thriving city needs, a new <br />destination where people go to build community and learn about other cultures. This development on south <br />Bristol Street in the South Coast Metro area will become a new gateway into Santa Ana, a city continuing to <br />emerge as central hub of employment, new business and growth in our county. <br />The OCHCC is proud to support Related Bristol, and I humbly ask that you join us. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Reuben ranco <br />CEO & resident Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce <br />O Mailing Address: <br />27762 Antonio Pkwy Suite L1-463 <br />Ladera Ranch, CA 92694 <br />® www.ochcc.org <br />(714) 953-4289 <br />OOffice Address: <br />The Cove @ UCI <br />UCI Beall Applied Innovation <br />5270 California Avenue <br />Irvine, CA 92697 <br />
