Subject:"3rd and Broadway
Date:Monday, September 28, 2020 10:40:34 AM
I am writing as one of the business agents for local 582 representing well over one thousand
members many of whom live in the city of Santa ana and nearby cities.
On behalf of those members I would urge you to approve the 3and Broadway project in Santa ana .
The project will bring in a building with 171 multi-family housing units ,
A 75 room hotel ,mixed use retail shopping with public parking
The Developer, MR Mike Harrah of Caribou Industries has committed to the building trades to
complete the negations of the Agreement. The building trades Council are in talks with the
Developer for a project labor agreement
That can provide the project with skilled and trained workers ,strong safety standards,
apprenticeship opportunities for Santa ana and other Orange County cities and support for the
helmets to hard hats program.
The project will create hundreds of high wage and high skilled jobs and these jobs have significant
multiplier effect on other jobs.
The project, once completed, will fit in with current structures in that area with the mixed use
modern format and it will revitalize the local economy . It will also provide badly needed revenue for
the City services to the public.
The project will be just steps away from the Orange street Car line that will enable residents and the
local community to take public transportation, therefor alleviating traffic and making it
environmental friendly.
Thank you for your service and attention to this important matter Again we urge you please approve
this project.
