MILLENNIUM MOMENT

The face of Costa Mesa today owes a great deal to the efforts of Henry

Segerstrom, the man who has led the growth and development of South Coast

Plaza as a retail giant.

The Peninsula Point resident was also the founding chairman of the Orange

County Performing Arts Center and continues to be closely involved in the

expansion of The Center. Segerstrom recently donated land to The Center

for the development of what will eventually become a $200-million concert

hall.

Costa Mesa’s unique combination of cultural vitality and economic

strength are a source of pride for Segerstrom. “We are destined,” he

said, “to be one of the great metropolises of the world.”
