SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce on Thursday announced its support for the Chargers Initiative to build a multi-use sports complex and convention facility downtown.
"This is not about football business, this is about San Diego Commerce," said Margie Newman, a small business owner and member of the chamber's committee on the Chargers Initiative.
"Our ad hoc committee's recommendation to the board that the Chargers Initiative would be supported was the result of analysis and extensive discussion with representatives with the Chargers, the lodging and tourism industry, members of the community, chamber partner organizations and other key stakeholders," Newman said.
