Vote Yes On C - Time to move forward

Five-star impact

So what's the big deal about a five-star hotel making its way to Palm Springs?Several things, says Stan Castleton, Shadowrock's developer.

There's buzz that is generated as soon as the announcement comes that a five-star property is coming to town, he said."They say, 'There's something pretty great going on there. We gotta check it out,'" Castleton said.

Then only buzz in our city now is Palm Springs is on a downward spiral and all the infighting as Rancho Mirage grows.

It also means room rates of up to $1,000, which could mean $1.5 million filtered into the city's transient occupancy taxes. The entire project could bring about $2 million to the city annually.

More police protection that the city needs desperately the taxes will help pay for more protection.

Five-star properties also have highly trained staff to cater to a client's every whim.

This is true on the management and their staff they are highly trained.

Five-star properties also draw arts, medical and high-end business meetings. Along with retail better end shoppers that are not just interested it a tee shirt store. They spend more!

We elected the city council to do our bidding and if every time we question what the do by holding it up in court or putting to a city vote it will more business away and be the death of this great city.
