The Diamond This 55-acre planned redevelopment of Lake Elsinore's Ballpark District, developed by JIC-CP Diamond Development, a joint venture between Gary Jacobs (Jacobs Investment Company, Owner. Lake Elsinore Storm, Co-Founder: High Tech High) and Civic Partners (Real Estate Development Company, Co-Developer: Summerly and The Links at Summerly Golf Course). The Project's vibrant mixed-use urban plan connects the existing Lake Elsinore Diamond baseball stadium, home of the Storm, to a planned waterfront development along the Lake. Shopping and dining options will support the entertainment, sports and recreation uses while the Elsinore Valley Education Center will offer much needed higher education and career training options to the region's residents. In total, the project will include retail, office, entertainment, hospitality, education and residential components. Elsinore Valley Education Center Located within the core of the Lake Elsinore community redevelopment area and serving the Inland Empire, the Elsinore Valley Education Center (EVEC) will reside in a prominent component of the 55 acre mixed-use campus within the City's Ballpark District. The campus will enjoy convenient access to downtown Lake Elsinore, hospitality services, entertainment, recreational and sports complexes, the marina and other mixed-use neighborhoods. The EVEC plans a campus grounded in the collaborative relationships to serve the students and graduates of Southwest California school districts. In addition, the civic leadership, the Elsinore Valley and Southwest California citizens and business communities will all benefit from the cultural and recreational opportunities that this location provides. As the Elsinore Valley continues to grow, so does the demand for access to educational services and its need and inherent value to economic development. As the City of Lake Elsinore and other regional entities embrace the redevelopment initiative, the value of the Elsinore Valley Education Center as a partner in the comprehensive portfolio of mixed-use development suggests that the EVEC is a probable cornerstone and catalyst initiative. The EVEC vision is to be a development catalyst and to fill a role as educator for the area residents and a source of employment and workforce training. It will provide a range of learning and cultural activities, as well as support for programs within the sports and recreational facilities and activities. In addition, the EVEC will be an active collaborator with hospitality and entertainment and film and theatre industries, as well as other interests in the region.
