A RESOLUTION OF

Silicon Valley Young Democrats

IN SUPPORT OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA’S PLANS FOR A NEW STADIUM THAT WOULD BE HOME TO THE SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE FRANCHISE

 

 

WHEREAS, the County of Santa Clara — commonly known as Silicon Valley — would reap hundreds of millions of dollars in economic benefits for local businesses and hotels as well as thousands of new jobs and development opportunities from a new, state-of-the-art, multi-purpose stadium in the City of Santa Clara that would be home to the San Francisco 49ers (“49ers”) National Football League franchise; and

 

WHEREAS, the 49ers have identified the City of Santa Clara as their principal choice for a new stadium; and

 

WHEREAS, the proposed site for a new stadium in the City of Santa Clara is immediately accessible by multiple transportation options, including three major freeways, bus, light rail, ACE, Amtrak, CalTrain, and bicycle path; and

 

WHEREAS, the term sheet agreement reached by the City of Santa Clara and the San Francisco 49ers calls for no new taxes on local residents and no negative impact on the City of Santa Clara’s general fund; and

 

WHEREAS, the 49ers’ community outreach programs and 49ers Foundation have provided significant benefits to young people throughout the region over the 20-plus years the 49ers have been headquartered in the City of Santa Clara.

 

THEREFORE, the Santa Clara County Democratic Party hereby resolves to support the development of a new, state-of-the-art, multi-purpose stadium in the City of Santa Clara, California.
