As the General Contractor on this project, it is evident that this venue <br /> and public space will serve the local and surrounding community like no other of its kind. The newly <br /> built environment will provide the community an opportunity to meet, celebrate, educate, learn, laugh, <br /> and "Thrive!" In addition, the Walnut and Daisy Mircro-Farm has transformed this local community and <br /> has beautified its surrounding. <br /> The Walnut and Daisy Micro-Farm is the first community land trust project in the City of Santa Ana, and <br /> it embodies the City's commitment to economic development in the interest of local residents. "La <br /> Colmena," as the site was recently rebranded, will provide affordable commercial space for local, <br /> worker-owned businesses (cooperatives), for arts, and for community events and local markets. The <br /> project, awarded by the State of California's "Jobs First" initiative, has already created over 35 <br /> prevailing wage construction jobs, 3 affordable commercial spaces, healthy, organic produce, and <br /> community event space. <br /> The development of a community land trust in Santa Ana will also benefit the City's housing goals as <br /> stated in the City's Housing Element Program 34.H, and will overall contribute to economic wellbeing in <br /> the city. Thank you to the City of Santa Ana for supporting this exemplary project and others like it. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Rafael Gutierrez, President <br /> All-American Construction Solutions <br /> Cell: <br /> E-Mail: <br /> Rafa Gutierre , President <br />
