Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council,
On behalf of the Small Business Diversity Network, we are writing you to give our full support for the
DISNEYLANDFORWARD initiative. As a non-profit who is deeply invested in supporting the underserved
small business community, we recognize the tremendous potential DISNEYLANDFORWARD has in creating
a positive impact and fostering new opportunities for the small businesses in Anaheim.
DISNEYLANDFORWARD represents a significant investment in the Anaheim community, with a
minimum commitment of $1.9 billion over the next decade. This initiative not only promises to
bring exciting new lands, attractions, and entertainment to the Disneyland Resort but also
presents an invaluable opportunity for local businesses to expand and flourish. As advocates for
the underserved small businesses, we understand the profound impact initiatives like
DISNEYLANDFORWARD can have on creating economic opportunities and leveling the playing field
for all entrepreneurs and small businesses in Anaheim.
It’s essential to understand that DISNEYLANDFORWARD isn’t just about Disney - it’s about supporting
the entire ecosystem of small businesses that rely on tourism in Anaheim and beyond. By
investing in the resort’s expansion and development, Disney is also investing in the success of
small businesses like those we represent, which provide goods and services to the park,
visitors, and residents. The economic ripple effects of the Disneyland Resort extend far beyond
Anaheim, benefitting countless small businesses across the state that contribute to the vibrancy
of their communities.
Furthermore, the Disneyland Resort’s commitment to career training and job skill development
for nearly 10,000 Anaheim residents yearly demonstrates its dedication to empowering
communities and fostering long-term economic sustainability. By providing access to training
and employment opportunities, Disney is helping to build a stronger, more resilient workforce
that will benefit small businesses and communities.
We urge the Anaheim City Council to support the DISNEYLANDFORWARD initiative. By embracing
this visionary project, you will affirm your commitment to economic growth, job creation, and
community development, ensuring a brighter future for all small businesses in Anaheim and
Orange County.
Sincerely,
Jay Ungos-President
