Anaheim 1994: Bankruptcy and new urban plans reshape the city
The year 1994 saw Anaheim install new police, fire, and council members while pursuing a Disneyland area renewal. Orange County filed the nation’s largest municipal bankruptcy, freezing $7.5 billion in investments and forcing Anaheim to suspend $86.5 million in capital projects and a hiring freeze. The Anaheim Resort plan, approved after seven years, budgets $175.5 million to revitalize 550 acres with pedestrian scale design amid opposition from Anaheim HOME. An earthquake on January 17 toppled the old stadium scoreboard and the “A” sign.
