City of San Luis Obispo July 29, 2020
To whom it may concern:
I have invested in the Villaggio project. My husband, a career Army officer, and I
came to San Luis in 1975 to be assigned to the ROTC department at Cal Poly. Like
so many, we decided that this would be a marvelous place to continue to rear our
family, so he retired from the Army, after 23 years of service, and worked for the
Foundation at the university for several years.
We're not wealthy. (I've heard the complaint this this retirement community is
for "rich folks.") But we were able to invest in a home in the 70's, and have been
careful over the years.
I have several friends who needed care in their later years, but husband and wife
were separated after 50-60 years because each needed a different level of care.
There was no place here in San Luis that could care for their needs and keep
couples on the same campus.
Villaggio meets the needs of retired individuals with intelligent plans for them to
continue stable and productive lives. My own husband died 11 years ago. I know
he would want to know that I was able to live out my life with dignity and care in
the community we love and have supported for 45 years.
Please see the favorable impact this project will have on our unique and
wonderful city.
