The 1st District City Councilman is trying to close the gap on a deal to bring a Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market to downtown. In a mass e-mail delivered Monday afternoon, Garcia is rallying residents to write letters supporting the move to City Place.
Here's the letter:
Dear Neighbor:
When I was President of the North Pine Neighborhood
Alliance, one of our top priorities was to recruit a
quality market to the Downtown. During the City
Council campaign, I promised that we would work hard
to recruit a Trader Joe's, a Whole Foods or a Fresh
& Easy Neighborhood Market.
Well, I am proud to say that we are VERY CLOSE
to signing a lease for a Fresh & Easy Market in the
Downtown!
Fresh & Easy is interested in moving into the City
Place Shopping Center in the First Council District.
This is extremely important for the future
development of Downtown Long Beach. The Fresh & Easy
would serve as a key anchor that would open up new
opportunities for quality retail.
I need your help. Click on

Please submit your letter of support by this Friday (July 17),
and feel free to call my office at (562) 570-6919 if
you have any questions.
I look forward to continue working with the
community, the Long Beach Chamber, the Downtown Long
Beach Associates and other organizations to continue
efforts to attract jobs to the First District. Also,
for all Trader Joe's fans, we are still working hard
to bring a store to the area...
We are going to build a better
Downtown together.
Go Long Beach!
