What impact do you predict this project will have on
the local economy?
“It has already had an extraordinary impact on the local economy.
Over 3,000 tenant jobs are on-site and will continue to grow. You
have Mom & Pops Chicken Shop opening in August or September.
You also have the Stick House Mongolian BBQ opening up in the
same time frame. These are two restaurants that are opening up
in this challenging economic climate but we believe in the concept
of (the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce) and our ability to
serve our tenants.”

(development) which is a unique urban development opportunity
that will generate tremendous social and economic development
impacts for the entire Northern California region.”
