San Jose, CA -“Google has just provided us with $1 billion more reasons to recognize them as a great employer and great community partner. While so many people in the Bay Area are saying “not in my backyard,” Google has placed their wallet where their words are with “yes” in their own backyard with up to 20,000 new homes with all levels of affordability for Bay Area residents.”
-Carl Guardino, President and CEO of Silicon Valley Leadership Group
