The Honorable Harry Sidhu, Mayor
Members of the City Council
City of Anaheim
200 S Anaheim Boulevard, 7th Floor
Anaheim, CA 92805
Dear Mayor Sidhu and Councilmembers,
Thank you for your votes last week in support of the Angel Stadium sale and plans for
the development of the stadium property.
We are excited to know that this great proposal for the future of the stadium property is
one step closer to becoming a reality. The plan will transform the Platinum Triangle and
bring to fruition the vision originally planned 15 years ago. The community benefits,
including over 12 acres of parks and another 11 acres of open flex space, 5,175 units of
housing that include 777 units of much needed affordable housing, will be great for
Anaheim.
There will be nearly 30,000 construction work job opportunities for the men and women
of the building trades who will prioritize Anaheim local hires and veteran hiring, plus over
45,000 permanent job opportunities with the full build out of the property.
This new opportunity for Anaheim means millions of dollars every year in new revenue
for the City of Anaheim. New property, sales, and hotel taxes will culminate in over $38
million per year in revenue for the City at full build out. New monies that will benefit
Anaheim residents from every corner and part of the City, funding our police, fire, and
paramedic services, street maintenance and repairs, community and parks services, and
much more.
Best of all it means Angels Baseball STAYS in the City of Anaheim.
Again, thank you for your vote in support of the Angels and the stadium development
plan. When this returns as agenda item #19 at the City Council meeting on October 6 for
second reading, I urge you to support it again so we can get this project moving forward.
Sincerely,
