Re: American Canyon Chamber of Commerce Endorses the Giovannoni Logistics Center The American Canyon Chamber of Commerce strongly endorses the Giovannoni Logistics Center Development and we urge you to approve the applications before you tonight that will move this project forward.
There are currently limited vacancies for wine storage. Green Island Road is the Champion of the Wine Industry with millions of cases of wine passing through it every year. We need to support this growing industry, encourage wine supporting businesses, to be in American Canyon, and welcome them as they locate and grow here. If the businesses don't come to American Canyon, they go into South Unincorporated County or Sonoma, meaning no benefits to our City.
As the Chamber, we represent our members, and the business community of American Canyon. We believe that the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project needs to be approved because it will provide the following economic development benefits for our community:
1. Promote development that generates net positive tax revenues for the City by generating more in new tax revenues than are consumed by City expenditures on services provided to the development.
2. Create new employment opportunities for residents of Napa County and the surrounding region.
3. Develop compatible land uses near the Napa County Airport in the interests of avoiding interference with aviation operations.
4. Improve American Canyon’s jobs-housing ratio by adding new employment opportunities.
5. Continue the orderly development of the Devlin Road corridor with a well-designed project.
6. Further the goals and policies of the City of American Canyon General Plan by developing land contemplated to support urban development to its highest and best use.
7. Preserve the most biologically sensitive portions of the project site as open space.
8. Install circulation improvements along Green Island Road and Devlin Road that provide efficient ingress and egress to the Proposed Project while also ensuring these facilities operate at acceptable levels.
9. Promote public safety by incorporating security measures into the project design.
10. Mitigate impacts on the environment through implementa0on of feasible mitigation measures.
We appreciate your consideration and look forward to having the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project welcomed in American Canyon
Sincerely,
Valerie Zizak-Morais Gladys Milligan
