“What we’re talking about is that next generation of economic growth for the city of Anaheim,” Councilwoman Kris Murray said. “I think this will be remembered as a hallmark opportunity for economic development.”
Tuesday, the Anaheim City Council will consider a major agreement with Orange County’s largest employer, Disneyland, that will have economic and cultural impacts on the city and county, likely for generations to come.
Nearly 20 years ago, the city entered into a contract with the park operator not to impose what has been called a “gate tax,” or a direct tax on ticket sales, at Disneyland. That agreement is nearing expiration, and Disney would like to see it renewed, in return for a commitment to build $1 billion or more worth of improvements in the parks or on adjacent Disney properties.
