Mayor Salas, City Council, City of Chula Vista, California
My name is Raquel Cortez and I am here speaking on behalf my company (Rico's on Third) and
representing a collaboration of business owners on Third Avenue. Thank you for allowing us to
share our ideas that aims to introduce the newly renovated, pedestrian-friendly Third Avenue
Village to this and surrounding communities. Our goal is to showcase a new generation of
businesses and industries with the magic of historical Third Avenue, Chula Vista. We wish to
welcome all residents of the area to fresh storefronts of all business types, to the evolving
nightlife, and to the daily buzz of the Village.
Our family business, as well as other local businesses on Third Avenue are stakeholders
wishing to promote ourselves using progressive strategies with the goal of increasing commerce
within this business district. That strategy uses a multi-targeted and multi-themed approach to
attract business exchange to the district using various popular attractions that will bring the
public to enjoy the art mediums, sounds, and to feel the buzz of this historic business
community. We hope to work closely with the Chula Vista Art department and other local High
School Art Departments to showcase local Artist .We propose to do this during the summer
months, twice monthly on Tuesdays from 5 to 8pm. This six week series shall be called "Village
Summer Nights", and shall target and promote the business industries within the Village. The
attractions will not only include various themes for each of the local business industries, and will
also have a variation of music sounds and art mediums.
