Park may ensure services
The Disneyland resort will bring John Q. Citizen a bounty of city services and will keep Anaheim from shriveling into a middle-of-the-road tourist at traction. At least that's the picture Deputy City Manager Tom Wood painted Tuesday for the City Council and Planning Commission. If the Walt Disney Co. decides to pull the plug on a proposed $3 billion Disneyland expansion, the city could lose its competitive edge as a major destination for tourism and conventions, he said. "All of this could seriously erode our ability to provide municipal services." On the other hand, if Disney land grows into a 470-acre resort where visitors drown themselves in fantastic thoughts, city coffers could swell considerably, according to a report pre pared by Economic and Planning Systems, Berkeley.
