Dear Mayor Romero and Council Members,
The San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the Cit y
Council for the enhanced focus and expanded efforts to maintain and beautif y
the Downtown .
We have not studied in-depth the different work programs proposed by staff an d
are not recommending one approach over another . All of the proposed option s
represent a significant investment in the heart of downtown that enrich the are a
as a multi-use restaurant, entertainment, shopping, civic, and professional cente r
and fuel a healthier climate for all local businesses .
It is the Chamber's vision that downtown San Luis Obispo should be treated as a
city jewel that requires continuous care and enhancement . During challengin g
economic times, leadership is required to make the strategic investments tha t
ensure long-term vitality .
We would like to thank the City staff for their ongoing commitment to engag e
business community input on these efforts and we urge the City Council t o
remain steadfast in its commitment to maintain and beautify the Downtown . We
look forward to continuing to partner with you on this community goal .
Sincerely ,
David Garth
