Lori Ann Farrell, Assistant City Manager

Huntington Beach, CA 92648
Dear Lori Ann Farrell,
Thank you for considering ECONSolutions by HdL services. After speaking to you about your needs, I
would like to present the attached proposal for Project/Consulting support in formulation of a
comprehensive package to attract cutting edge corporate headquarters to Huntington Beach to fill the
impending gap left by Boeing's departure from the region.
Please review the attached proposal and call me at 951-233-0414 with any questions. We look forward
to the opportunity to work with you and the city of Huntington Beach.
Sincerely,
Barry Foster
Managing Director
909-861-4335

Enhancing the Competitive edge
Background
With Boeing announcing its plans to vacate the region, the city of Huntington Beach is placed in a unique
circumstance. Losing a major corporation and employer such as Boeing, who once employed up to 35,000
at its Huntington Beach facility alone, is an economic shock that could devastate a region if not handled
properly. However, Boeing's departure also presents the region with a unique opportunity to reach out
and attract other major industries to the city. With the impending vacancy of up to 165 acres of already
entitled land, the city now has the ability to lure other industries such as (Cleantech, Biotechnology, Cloud
Computing etc.) in the hopes of creating tens of thousands of additional jobs and tens of billions of dollars
in additional investment in the surrounding community.
Benefits for the City
It is important for the city to attract businesses that will invest in the communities where they operate in
ways that benefit their neighbors and employees. For example, Amazon has donated to hundreds of
charitable organizations across its home city of Seattle that support people of all backgrounds and income
levels.
Key Preferences and Decision Drivers
The below factors are priorities for the city of Huntington Beach. The city is looking to attract businesses
that place similar emphasis on operating with the following considerations in mind.
Site/Building — As described herein, finding suitable buildings/sites is of paramount importance
to any business and community. With the impending departure of Boeing, up to 165 acres of
industrial property stands to become vacant. Although there are several other great locations for
business throughout the city, keeping the Boeing site utilized would be very beneficial to the city.
However, all options are under consideration.
Capital and Operating Costs — Huntington Beach understands the importance of a stable and
business -friendly environment. The city has the ability to offer incentives to businesses that
choose to locate in Huntington Beach as a means to offset initial capital outlay and ongoing
operational costs.
Labor Force — The city expects that projects will include significant employment requirements
with corresponding educational attainment of the available workforce. Huntington Beach is
positioned strategically between a significant number of prestigious universities that can meet
the needs of any type of business that chooses to locate within the city. The city understands the
importance of a highly educated labor pool and currently operates closely with several
educational institutions to obtain highly educated and experienced workers.
Logistics — The city understands that personnel travel and logistics needs, both from population
centers to the project site, as well as between company facilities, are critically important. As such,
travel time to a major highway corridor and arterial roadway capacity potential are key factors.
The Boeing site is strategically placed within five minutes of the 405 Freeway that can take
commuters to LAX, Long Beach Airport, and John Wayne Airport in under 45 minutes. The freeway
corridors also connect directly to Downtown LA, Long Beach, Irvine, and other major population
hubs.
Time to Operations — Certain projects require an expeditious.timetaable for the location decision
and the, commencement. of construction. Given this, sites with the requisite access, ,utility
infrastructure, and.zbning are critical. The Boeing sites are already zoned industrial and several
sites already contain entitlements.far new buildings.
Cultural Community Fit The city believes.* that a compatible. cultural and community
environment is essential .fbr the long-term success of the .Public/Private partnership. City officials
are eager and willing to work with any company that chooses to invest.in the community. A stable
and consistent business climate is important to the city.
Community/Quality of Life —The Boeing site can house a. significant number of employees. We
want businesses to invest in our community where their employees will enjoy living, have.access
to recreational and educational op portunities* :and. take part in an overall high quality of life.
Huntington Beach has something to offer to everyone with family friendly community events
hosted year round, weekly walk able street fairs and. art exhibits; and a rich and thriving:
recreational sports culture.
Sustainability: The city is committed to sustainability efforts. City buildings.are sustainable and
energy -efficient. The city is so committed to sustainability that .it has recently acquired 11,045
streetlights from.Southern California Edison in order to convert them to become more. energy
efficient, The city is also actively involved in community sustaina_bility efforts. In.2016 the.ci.ty
acquired a $20,000 grant from the California Air Resources Board to .fund a sustainable business
certification program for 10 .disadvantaged businesses within the Oakview `neighborhood of.
Huntington Beach. Additionally, the city has spearheaded the Orange County Recycling Market.
Development. Zone (RMDZ) and is the program administrator for this program that provides.
incentives for local businesses to reuse and recyclewaste products. Given its commitment to
sustainable practices, the city is interested in attracting businesses hat support sustainable
practices.
Connectivity: The .city of Huntington Beach is continua[ly.seeking to update: andupgrade its city-
wide connectivity. The Boeing site already possesses its own fiber networks, and the .city .is
currently working. with several companies to develop city-wide wireless connect*[VI ty,
