Plant Master Plan Survey

After 53 years of working around-the-clock, the Plant's is wearing out. It is time to rebuild infrastructure, consider new technologies, and determine how to best use the Plant’s 2,600-acre property. To accomplish this, the City of San José and tributary cities are developing a Plant Master Plan. While the Plant site is large enough to accommodate different features and land uses, as the study proceeds, we will have to determine the mix and balance of uses, given limited resources.

Santa Clara Valley residents and future generations will be living with the results of the Plant master planning process for many decades to come. The Plant Master Plan Public Input Survey was featured at the first Plant Master Plan community workshop in May of 2009. The input results from that workshop are available in the Community Workshop # 1 Summary Report. Between May and November of 2009, nearly 1500 residents participated in our Public Input Survey. The information from the survey is being compled into a summary that will be used in our process to help shape a plan that will reflect community values. Look for this summary in January of 2010. 

We are also taking comments, suggestions, and questions through our website, in person at community meetings, and by telephone. When the list of alternatives is developed, all public input received through October 2009 will be used to help us evaluate those alternatives. A public opinion summary will be developed to accompany the final Plant Master Plan.

 The City of San José is committed to open and honest government and strives to consistenly meet the community's expectations by providing excellent service, in a positive and timely manner, and in the full view of the public. www.sanjoseca.gov/clerk/cp_manual/CPM_0_15.pdf
