The City of San José offers extraordinary opportunity for people and companies focused on building a better future. Amid fierce competition from other cities, states and countries, it is imperative that San José continues to lead the way in economic development and innovation.
The vision outlined in Mayor Mahan’s March Budget Message furthers this objective by supporting local innovators, protecting core city services, and responsibly addressing the city’s budget and finances. SVLG representatives will speak in support of Mayor Mahan’s March Budget Message at the March 17 City Council hearing.
The health of San José’s economy is contingent upon the people who power it. As Silicon Valley’s leading business association, SLVG and our members share the Mayor’s commitment to ensuring local workers have access to affordable homes and healthcare, quality education, and safe, clean public spaces. And to shore up our long-term economic growth, public and private sector leaders should collaborate to avoid overly burdensome costs on employers and workers that undermine our region’s competitiveness.
Mayor Mahan’s March Budget Message is commendable as it moves us closer toward fulfilling the promise of what San José is and can be, now and in the future.
