PRESENTATIONS
Research and Development Infrastructure Phase II Status
Dale Ward briefed the Board on the status of the Research and Development
infrastructure project. He noted that the first phase of the research infrastructure
development was completed in Spring 2003 and included the inventory and
comprehensive assessment of geographically explicit quantitative data made available
by a variety of public and proprietary sources. The assessment was expanded in the
second phase of the research to include detailed industrial and real estate information
for areas both within the Santa Ana Empowerment Zone and the SAEC Development
sites.
Following Mr. Ward's presentation, Board discussion ensued. Director Brewster
expressed concern that the Empowerment Zone was not benefiting from the research
gathered for the infrastructure development since the data was not available to the
Board.
Economic Development Summit hosted by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce
Dale Ward, Vice President of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce briefed the Board
