Dear City Council:
I’m writing in support of SLO REP’s challenge grant request. SLO REP’s project will undoubtedly have a huge positive
impact on the economy Downtown and will add a much-needed core piece to the arts corridor that we've been working
towards for so many years now. When people patron the arts, they spend money on dinner, parking, drinks, etc. It
brings them Downtown for a reason and gives them the opportunity to see things they may not have known about
before, which hopefully leads to them coming back. It's more important now than it has ever been to strengthen our
Downtown Core and make sure that there's a culturally rich and thriving Downtown for generations to come. With the
City’s grant, there is no question that SLO REP’s fundraising from private sources will accelerate. The City has an
unprecedented moment in time to fulfill a long-held vision to establish a bona fide cultural corridor for a modest
investment that will yield a huge return.
I urge you to please approve SLO REP’s challenge grant and keep the momentum on this project moving forward.
Sincerely,
Audrey Lariz
SLO City Resident
