We believe in the right of underserved communities to have access to healthy local food, and <br />food production. <br />We believe in the need for a partnership amongst local business, community organizations and residents, <br />................ <br />where we create a culturally relevant, community serving, accessible and affordable downtown that does <br />not displace but is inclusive of its Latino identity and people. <br />We support the recent findings of the Wellness District Market Study report, conducted by The Next <br />Practice, that describes a Latina Revival Scenario market strategy for the downtown, stating that the <br />greatest demand in the downtown is for wellness goods and services and that the largest purchasing power <br />is in the Latino resident of the surrounding central Santa Ana neighborhoods. <br />We support the proposed Wellness District Resolution and believe the following: <br />A Wellness District in the downtown will uplift Santa Ana as a destination for food, health, <br />culture, and a family experience <br />• Affordable, culturally relevant events and community friendly locations will bring Santa Ana <br />residents, commuters and visitors downtown <br />"Calle Cuatro" memorializes and affirms Latino history and present <br />Community - run microfarms will replace vacant lots to provide affordable, local, healthy food for <br />esidents and restaurants <br />conomic development downtown and citywide will include everyone <br />• Through Wellness We Thrive Together <br />Name/Organization I OCLfn —&71 — Y`de - <br />Address: d _r7 0 r= I ZI e l` City, Zip: W A Ae, !2a!7 9 -6 <br />Email Address: cfryl Ceeer %Liu, k f4 iM,c4�l : C ow Phone: q gil(Tex es o No) <br />❑ I live in Santa Ana ❑ I'm a student in Santa Ana (school) <br />I work in Santa Ana t;k I shop in Santa Ana I worship Santa Ana yy�� // /;, <br />Place of worship) <br />Building ' He <br />ng Healthy <br />Communities <br />rriU� gg' <br />
