We are proud to represent <br />approximately 1,200 hardworking members who live right here in the city. They are raising <br />families, supporting local businesses, and contributing to the community every day. <br /> <br />The Village Project is an opportunity to strengthen Santa Ana. It will create good- <br />paying local jobs for our members, bring new economic investment, and deliver lasting <br />benefits that families can rely on for years to come. Just as importantly, it is a project that our <br />membersyour neighborswill be directly involved in building. <br /> <br />This effort has gone through a thorough and transparent process, with input from neighbors, <br />community leaders, city staff, and labor. We respectfully ask the Council to approve this <br />project and help ensure that Santa Ana remains a place where working families can thrive. <br /> <br />Thank you for your leadership and for considering our voice in this important decision. <br /> <br />With respect and appreciation, <br /> <br />Jacob Lopez <br />Regional Manager <br />Western States Regional Council of Carpenters <br /> <br />CC: Jimmy Elrod <br /> <br />
