Our City is poised to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime transformation of the downtown civic center – giving us the proud heart and soul that we all deserve – a welcoming place of pride and dignity that will serve our next generations long into the future. A new City Hall will be the cornerstone of a five-block redevelopment for living and working. The time is now to carefully shape our goals and aspirations to create a remarkable place – and it is time to commit to those goals.
Now is the time for huge, audacious thinking, broad outreach, strong partnerships, and thoughtful planning to guarantee success. Now means it is time to remember how greatness is achieved – it is difficult and it is expensive – and it takes commitment from us all. Mayor Gloria has assembled a committee of San Diegans who have dedicated their careers to improve the lives of all who call San Diego home. This group brings together people who can guide the Vision for what this place can be – people who know how to pay for it and people who know how to take care of it forever.
