Dear Councilmember Phil Bacerra <br />I strongly urge you to approve the Related Bristol project on October 1. A project of this size and <br />magnitude will provide an unprecedented economic package that the city desperately needs and <br />should be approved given the best interest of the constituents. <br />We cannot lose sight of the big picture. Related Bristol will generate 16,800 new jobs, $500 <br />million in new tax revenue during its first 30 years and a $544 million community benefits <br />package. It is imperative to prioritize the needs of the overall community and not jeopardize the <br />financial feasibility of the project over additional union issues, components, and other requirements. <br />Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need <br />certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently and <br />the very real prospect of a vacant retail center that is an important generator of sales tax revenues to <br />our City, we cannot delay this project any further nor jeopardize its feasibility. <br />Please prioritize the general good of our community and make the right decision. I am in full support <br />of the visionary Related Bristol mixed -use development because of it promises unprecedented <br />benefits for the City of Santa Ana for decades to come. <br />Approval of this innovative and dynamic project will help fuel sustainable growth and prosperity for <br />Santa Ana. It will help contribute to the economic, social and cultural expansion of one of the largest <br />and most consequential cities in Orange County. <br />I urge you to approve Related Bristol now or risk losing this once -in -a -generation opportunity. <br />Thank you, <br />Lawna M.
