Bob Stewart, Owner Stewart Sound — <br />"Downtown Inc is not only a vibrant force to the businesses downtown but has made inroads into the <br />community and social issues facing this city. Vicky has convinced us that PBIDs cannot ignore social issues such <br />as the homeless and is at the helm of forming a coalition of civic leaders, the faith community, government and <br />others to begin an effort that could make us a model to all counties in California. She is basing this on the <br />Navigator Program used in Sacramento and San Diego that has received Presidential Awards. The Community <br />Policing Project formed with Santa Ana Police Department along with radios funded by Downtown Inc given to <br />our businesses, has been described by the Justice Department as a model to large cities our size. And several <br />cities have called us for details in beginning a PBID (Orange, Brea, Pasadena, San Pedro, and Newport <br />Beach). My sincere desire would be to see all businesses in the district part of the equation, actively involved <br />with Downtown Inc and making a difference in revitalizing Downtown Santa Ana." <br />Caleb Everett, CEO of Career College of California — <br />"As a small business owner, 1 really appreciate and have benefited from Downtown Inc.'s efforts. The downtown <br />area is clean and safe. The events they put on are terrific and any time we call for help, whether it be an <br />introduction or help planning an event, they are always very responsive and very helpful." <br />20 <br />
