Jay Beeler, Park Estates
Stephen Bello, Marina Pacifica, "Great project!"
Tom & Rebekah Bennett, University Park Estates
Mark & Theresa Bixby, University Park Estates, "This is a far better solution than empty, derelict oil tanks. It will only bring value to the area."
Chris Bonney, Naples, "Anyone who values having a city that can actually provide quality services to its residents and create a sustainable retail tax base should be supportive of the Home Depot Design Center project."
Elly Bluemel, College Park
Phil & Charlene Bosl, Bay Harbour
Jim & Liz Breslauer, Spinnaker Bay, "This is a great project for Long Beach. Please let’s not let it fail. This would be a much better look for the area plus bring much needed dollars to Long Beach."

Carl Calkins, Naples, "We need high-end retail for our city to grow economically and it would certainly improve the current eyesore on the present site."
Darrell Cannon, MD, "A good retail center is much more desirable than an old tank farm."
Joe Castro, University Park Estates
Don Cochran, Del Lago
Patrick Coleman, College Estates, "We need a Home Depot Design Center and any improvements to that blighted area. I don’t agree with any NIMBY; I live here too."

Donald Faulis, East Long Beach, "Excellent area improvement. Will increase local real estate residential and commercial property values. Who wants to live next to towering oil tanks?"
Douglas Frankenfeld, Los Cerritos, "The alternative to a Design Center is industrial, either an expanded power plant or a much-needed oil refinery. Hello? Why not get a retail development that will create sales tax for Long Beach?"
Win Freeman, Spinnaker Bay, "As usual, a small, vocal minority, just like those who chose to live under an airport landing pattern, want to spoil what is best for the other 99 percent of the residents living in the city. This new center would be a MAJOR improvement to the existing, abandoned oil tanks."
Ralph Freitag, Leisure World Seal Beach
Mark Gray, CPA, East Long Beach
Terry Geiling, Belmont Heights
James Gerdts, Naples, "Let’s see… Rusting storage tanks, a semi-trailer storage terminal, or a well-planned retail, design and dining center PLUS open space and parkland improvements. This one’s kind of a no-brainer."
Lorenzo Gigliotti, East Long Beach
Greg Gill, Park Estates
Scott & Cindy Gilmore, Park Estates
David Drake, Naples
Matthew Gonzales, Belmont Heights, "Time to get Long Beach’s head out of the sand and start competing with our neighbor cities for Long Beach citizen’s disposable income and taxes."
Dennis Haessly, Belmont Shore
Howard Hamlin, Alamitos Bay Peninsula
John Hancock, Belmont Heights
Jim Hankla, Bixby Village, "The facts are that every single new retail development in the last 15 years has been opposed by the immediate neighborhood. Now, if we tried to take them away, there would be a revolt."
