LEADERSHIP <br />¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ <br />Downtown Incorporated began the process to improve the vitality of Downtown Santa Ana with the formation of <br />the Community Management District and officially opened our doors August 2009. During our formation, the <br />economy rocked the business world to its roots. Despite the economy and market fluctuations along with changes in <br />the business environment, we will work to strengthen retail and commercial establishments. <br />Although challenged by the market, our property owners continue to reinvest in their businesses. Herb Rose with <br />LaBell Exchange received the coveted Award of Excellence from the Association of TeleServices in a challenging <br />year for his industry. ROIC acquired the Downtown Plaza and have landscaped, modernized and attracted new <br />businesses into their heavily trafficked plaza- Mil Jugos will begin an expansion project later this year to <br />accommodate their increasing popularity. Jugos Acapulco will also be expanding in 2010. City Ventures broke <br />ground for 16 new live/work units. The YOST Theatre, Fiesta Marketplace and the Spurgeon Building are all in <br />varying degrees of upgrades and repositioning. Several projects are planned for 2010 that will continue to change <br />the footprint of downtown. <br />As we look forward, we will continue to focus on our core functions of public safety, maintenance, advocacy, <br />marketing and business support and developing programs and services that benefit the downtown. <br />With all stakeholders working together in partnership, I am confident the successes of Downtown Inc. will continue to <br />grow in 2010. <br />Regards, <br />Bob Stewart. <br />Board President, Downtown Incorporated <br />f <br />Y <br />-_ <br />? 8 1 <br />rip <br />71 <br />Ti LIN T47 <br />-AN <br />E - -- <br />L <br />2
