The Angels, Anaheim’s baseball team may be looking to leave, but the city’s hockey team, the Anaheim Ducks, are negotiating a new 25-year lease and development project around the Honda Center.
The Anaheim City Council has approved a deal to allow Anaheim Arena Management, the operator of the Honda Center, negotiate and sell the naming rights to the city’s signature transportation hub, known as the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, or ARTIC.
The company that manages the Honda Center will get exclusive rights to sell advertisements on two electronic billboards in front of ARTIC, Anaheim’s transportation hub.
Anaheim will scrap an existing fireworks program that Mayor Tom Tait says disproportionately benefits Anaheim Hills residents for a more limited program where only 16 nonprofits will participate each year.
The suit claims Anaheim Arena Management violated a new state law by not offering to rehire workers the firm laid off in June.
Jordan Brandman announced he wrote to management requesting priority for the more than 400 arena employees who received layoff notices.
Because the arena is in an enterprise zone, Anaheim Arena Management could reap millions in tax credits when it replaces more than 400 employees it is laying off.
Council voted unanimously to issue $75 million in bonds to
billionaire Henry Samuelli so he can bring the NBA’s Sacramento
Kings to the Honda Center.
