SOAR TeleForum a Success!

On Monday, October 13th, SOAR sponsored a live community forum over the phone. More than 2,500 Anaheim residents participated in the forum, which was hosted by Todd Ament, SOAR Co-Chair and Anaheim Chamber of Commerce President & CEO. Panelists included Gail Eastman, SOAR Co-Chair of the Advisory Committee and Anaheim Planning Commission Member as well as Tom Daly, SOAR Advisory Committee Member, former Anaheim Mayor and our current Orange County Clerk-Recorder.

The discussion focused on the past, present and future of the Resort District. Gail Eastman and Tom Daly answered questions from callers and covered topics regarding traffic mitigation, the convention center and tax revenue generated by the Resort District.

Anaheim’s Resort District Preserved!

S.O.A.R. Grassroots Army Succeeds

The Anaheim Resort District covers less than 5 percent of the city. Yet, it is an economic powerhouse that generates more than 50 percent of all Anaheim tax revenues.

A year ago, the Resort District, which was created in 1994, was in serious danger. The “Save Our Anaheim Resort” (SOAR) committee formed and began the long fight to preserve the Resort District.

Anaheim’s World Class Resort District is now preserved! The Anaheim City Council reversed its position and adopted the “Save Our Anaheim Resort” (SOAR) initiative on March 4, 2008.

SOAR thanks the many people who worked so hard for this great victory! YOU fought City Hall! And YOU Won! Grassroots democracy works. The Resort District is now preserved. Police and Fire services are now protected.  Resort District Preserved – Essential City Services Protected
