Promote Grand Terrace at a Regional Welcome Center?

California Welcome Center:

Yes, it would be nice to have discount cards and maps handy to Grand Terrace. However, Is the the best use of City Funds.

The City Chamber Of Commerce should be doing this as a Chamber. This is not City Business.

How else could money be spent. Let's count the ways. Perhaps paying the light bills at the city parks so they can be used after daylight hours. Perhaps City Wide WiFi service... Perhaps, paying for Youth to Youth Tutoring. At 10.00 per hour of tutoring that would buy 250 hours of tutoring time. That investment could save the State one drop out, and one criminal and one life of living in a jail.

How about, spending that money on providing a RAMP to City Council and Library for Handicapped or physically challenged individuals. How about paying off some of the city loans and debts ahead of schedule?

Oh so many ways to spend the money.

How about a camp out night in the Park for all families who want to participate twice a year in a Night Out... in the park... It could be fun, and an exercise in emergency preparedness, a massive earth quake drill.

Do we want more people to come to Halloween Haunt.. NO..

Is Grand Terrace Days for the Citizens of Grand Terrace or for some other purpose?

Do we want to really promote more traffic through Grand Terrace when Maps show how to bypass the freeway traffic jams...

NO, not only should the money not be spent this way, Grand Terrace should not promote itself to invite More Drive Through Traffic, which brings no more money. What are they thinking. Is there a $ 2.00 level of support. That is all that should be spent on such a thing.

Now, IF the City were to support the development of the south side of the Santa Anna River area where the Manhole Builders Planned to build as a regional park catered by local restaurants, and other businesses. PERHAPS there is a reason to INVITE people to Come to GT on a Visit, but NOT NOW... gads. What are they thinking?
