Subject: I support the Avila Ranch project
My name is Gus Gibson and I am a SLO resident and have been for most of my life. I have worked exclusively in
SLO for the last 14 years, and the last 10 years I have been employed at Top Precision. Top Precision is a local
machine shop that has expanded into a new building across from the airport.
The ability to buy a house in SLO has been a dream of mine since childhood. My wife (who is also a SLO native) and
I will be in attendance Wednesday, June 28th to support the Avila Ranch Project.
Affordable housing is important to us, and even with our middle-income wages it has proven difficult to be able to
purchase a home in the town that we work and were raised in. We need to ensure that locally employed families are
able to buy houses without being subjected to bidding wars involving outside investors. By approving this project we
allow honest, working families protection from the increasing rental market in SLO.
