Morgan Hill sure is a happening place these days. Our business
community has grown at such a rapid pace that nearly all available
buildings have been leased and or sold to new users. Some exam-
ples include GSA’s recent move into the formerly Alien Technologies
building on Butterfield Drive. GSA manufactures wiring intensive sub
-assemblies for major household name companies, and are growing
as rapidly as people can be hired. Specialized Bike’s continues to
acquire properties around Concord Circle to support their growing R&D, dealer support
and administrative efforts. Forbes Grill has opened a new family steak house restaurant
after re-modeling the location Marie Callender’s vacated earlier this year. The Granary
District on Depot Ave in downtown Morgan Hill is now home to two brand new businesses
(The Grapevine and Bike Therapy) alongside already popular destinations like Odeum and
the Running Shop and Hops. Meanwhile other community supporting facilities like The
Huntington senior living center, higher density (and thus lower cost) housing communities
and both new and remodeled schools continue to be built and planned.
As your Chamber of Commerce we continue to be concerned about ensuring that the
overall land use mix between residential, commercial, industrial and office uses be built
out in a way which supports the long term health of the community. Now that nearly all of
the vacant buildings have been filled, the challenge remains in how to get the new job
and tax revenue supporting facilities built to match up with the residential growth. One
important aspect of this effort is to make sure that companies know that Morgan Hill is
open for businesses, and our city staff and elected officials have made great strides
through words and actions to make sure decision makers know we are ready to get things
done. This past week we heard unprompted testimonials from GSA, Kettle Cuisine and
Creative Manufacturing Solutions about how proactive and helpful the city was with their
respective relocation and expansion plans. The first stages of developing a comprehen-
sive Economic Development website are also under way as a means to tell Morgan Hill’s

Morgan Hill City Council unanimously approved a Magical Bridge Playground in Community Park, committing to obtain $2 million in funding for the playground. The City of Morgan Hill will partner with Magical Bridge Foundation this fall to apply for a Santa Clara County Matching Grant for an additional $2 million. It will be the first inclusive playground in the stretch between San Jose and Salinas.
The road to Magical Bridge Playground in Morgan Hill will be paved by many over the next year. But the first trail was blazed by Shirlee and Ron Locicero's lifelong commitment to all children as teachers and volunteers.
Visit Magical Bridge Playground in Morgan Hill for information about the playground and ways to support the project. If your company, foundation or community group would like to partner with Magical Bridge Foundation, kindly contact Jill Asher at [email protected].
Thank you to our
TASTE OF MORGAN HILL SPONSORS!!
IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EVENT. See you next year!
