The Honorable Antonio Villaraigosa, Mayor Dear Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa:<\/p>\n The Southland Partnership Corporation\/P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network represents a countywide community based organization that works with the City of Los Angeles Community Development Department, LAWA and Youth Opportunity Movement on jobs and training programs.\u00a0 Moreover, we worked with AEG on the local hiring commitments made when L.A. LIVE was being developed.\u00a0 We are pleased to offer support for the AEG Farmers Field stadium proposal.\u00a0 The outcome will make a critical difference in helping some of the most vulnerable segments of the Los Angeles populace.<\/p>\n Since 2001, we greatly appreciate AEG\u2019s comprehensive and consistent delivery of community benefits with our economic and workforce development group.\u00a0 This regional outreach effort works well for our mutual organizations in areas such as job referrals, community job fairs, affordable housing, local hiring, green space development and human services training\/education processes.\u00a0 As we collectively strive to improve the content and delivery of our activity, we look forward to AEG\u2019s continued participation toward expanding, retaining and attracting employers for highly valuable to residents in the region.<\/p>\n In view of that, we once again fully embrace the prospect to work with AEG to replicate our results with the newly proposed Farmers Field project.\u00a0 Our community will do good having a venture where over 50{ccc488d5a2ce4d1842f7a5a096256d3759c870d7ef5844ed8e9a39b694d97103} of the jobs are held by residents residing within a three-mile area (some of which are poverty zip codes identified by the City of Los Angeles), and where over 70{ccc488d5a2ce4d1842f7a5a096256d3759c870d7ef5844ed8e9a39b694d97103} of jobs pay a living wage.\u00a0 When completed, Farmers Field will produce over 7,000 construction jobs and 8,000 permanent related career positions that will come at a time when so many people struggle to find work, making this a critical opportunity for the local community.<\/p>\n As you can tell, we are eager to extend our collaborative support in helping to foster the potential array of affirmative opportunities for the local community.\u00a0 Farmers Field has the potential to have a significantly positive and lasting effect on our neighborhood\u2019s vitality.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Dean L.
