My name is Brian Diederich and was born and raised in the South Bay. I am a current business owner in The Riviera Village and have been on the Board of Directors for the Riviera Village Business Improvement District (RVA BID) for the past 10 years, 4 of those years with Allen Sanford currently as current president.
I would like to thank the city of Redondo Beach and the Mayor/Council from 2018/2019, who believed in Allen Sanford’s vision with the first BeachLife Festival. As you all know this festival has brought many tangible benefits to the city, but it has also brought a huge intangible benefit which has been missing in the South Bay of late, community. Tens of thousands of people from all over the beach cities converge at BeachLife Festival and it becomes a huge celebration. Redondo Beach has now become somewhat synonymous with BeachLife Festival across the U.S. so take advantage of it with your marketing. This event should always be supported.
I am 100% in support of Allen and the new tenants’ vision of The Waterfront where Chillers (On the Rocks) and Ruby’s are located. Chillers has been vacant forever and Ruby’s looked vacant even when it was open.
Improving these two buildings, opening a new restaurant and public club, and creating an inviting outdoor area will be a great start to finally fixing up The Waterfront and continue to add to the community feel. The city has waited too long to improve the area and this project is the perfect spark needed to bring people back and enjoy what Redondo and The Waterfront has to offer. Please push this project through quickly and support it wholeheartedly.
Thank you for your time.
