TrumpStreet - A good bet for Philly!

Nearly 1,000 New Jobs
With an annual payroll of $31 million, TrumpStreet is projected to create more than 1,000 new jobs in the community, with quality wages and benefits. Trump has already promised to make more than 50% of these new jobs available to members of the immediate neighborhoods and more than 75% available to Philadelphia residents. Additionally, the retail, dining and entertainment establishments TrumpStreet is expected to attract will employ roughly 400, and constructing TrumpStreet will create more than 1,300 construction jobs.

Millions of Dollars in Community Investment
The commitment of TrumpStreet to community revitalization spans far beyond new job opportunities. In fact, Trump has already made a commitment of $2 million in grants and funding that will be immediately available for community programs upon obtaining a gaming license. For subsequent years, Trump has committed to further substantial community grants, at a minimum of $500,000 per year, to be administered by an independent community foundation.

Opportunities for Local Business Development
In a letter to community leaders, Trump has vowed to maximize the use of local suppliers and vendors in the development, construction and operating of TrumpStreet. In particular, Trump will follow their established track record of working with minority-owned, women-owned and locally-owned business enterprises, as well as providing Equal Opportunity Employment to all employees.

Job Training Programs for Local Residents
To promote maximum community improvement, Trump will not only make jobs available to community residents but, for qualified community members, Trump will also provide innovative training programs.

Supporting Organized Labor
Trump will endeavor to maximize the use of unionized labor in the construction of the project and will encourage building trade unions to enter into project agreements on similar arrangements with local contractors. Trump is recognized by organized labor as an innovative labor relations leader, and Trump properties have experienced consistently low grievance and arbitration activity.

Important Traffic Improvements
Keeping additional traffic away from neighborhood streets is a TrumpStreet priority, and the development plans call for improvements to the surrounding streets and highways, at no cost to taxpayers. On Roosevelt Boulevard, Trump will extend the Fox Street exit ramp for additional safety and split the Abbottsford Avenue ramp, directing traffic to TrumpStreet onto Stokely Street. From Stokely Street, which Trump will pay to open, customers will be directed onto Roberts Avenue and straight into TrumpStreet.

Measures to Ensure Public Safety
Trump's record of training and employing quality security professionals is exemplary; in fact, the security force at the Trump Taj Mahal is larger than nearly every municipal police force in New Jersey. Additionally, new lighting fixtures will be installed and street improvements completed on the roadways surrounding TrumpStreet.
