or more than 45 years, Disneyland and the
surrounding Resort Area have been a dynamic economic
engine contributing significantly to the exceptional
city services Anaheim residents enjoy. With the
revitalization of the Anaheim Resort, its
contribution to the betterment of Anaheim will
continue to grow, as seen by these recent
improvements made possible by Resort-generated funds:
- Removal of the unsightly
clutter of overhead signs in the Resort Area;
- Creation of beautiful
landscaping throughout the Resort’s
"Garden District;"
- Construction of a new city
fire station and neighborhood improvements
serving Anaheim’s residents; and
- Commitment by the city to
track and dedicate tourism-generated revenue
and use these funds for citywide improvements.
The proposed new Disney park would
benefit the community and create more revenue by
encouraging visitors to stay longer. Each time
tourists decide to stay another day or two, they
generate more revenue for the city from hotel room
taxes (TOT) and sales taxes.
