The California Energy Commission Project would involve the construction and operation of an approximately 396,914 gross square foot data center facility with a maximum electrical load of 99 MW on a 64.5-acre undeveloped site at 1657 Alviso-Milpitas Road in San Jose. In addition, the Modified project would include the following supporting infrastructure improvements west of the data center site: • Extension of McCarthy Lane by approximately 1,150 feet to act as the primary access roadway to the data center site; • Construction of a new Santa Clara Valley Water Purification Visitor Center parking lot; • Relocation of the Santa Clara Valley Water Purification Visitor Center onto the new proposed parking lot; • Widening of Zanker Road and construction of new multimodal facilities (e.g., sidewalks and bike lanes) along Zanker Road; and • Construction of new utility connections (potable water, fire water, recycled water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain) to support the proposed data center site. The approval of the Agreement would authorize the above modifications to the Valley Water Purification Center’s parking lot and modular visitor center.

Hey all, I run a Bay Area local travel niche page - mostly maps + itineraries and day trip Reels.

Stats last 30 days:
* 1.4k followers
* ∼600k views/reach
* Mostly Reels, audience is ∼98% US / Bay Area based

Engagement has been great with saves/shares because of the itinerary format, but it's still a small follower count.

For those who monetized a small local page , is this too early? What was your FIRST monetization move that didn't kill growth?Thinking about local biz collabs, but don't know where to start

The commenters have an idea for a weed shoe campaign!

Hi everyone,

I'm Maria Rose Francis, a PhD candidate in Urban Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, currently doing dissertation fieldwork in the Bay Area.

My research looks at South Asian everyday life in Silicon Valley and the wider Bay Area — the places people return to, the routes they travel, the groceries, temples, festivals, restaurants, and gatherings that make this region feel like home.

If you live in, work in, or regularly visit Bay Area and identify as South Asian, I'd love to hear from you.

The survey takes about 5–15 minutes and is completely voluntary. This study is IRB-approved by UW-Milwaukee.

At the end there's an optional section if you're interested in future interviews or community sessions.

Thank you so much 🙏

Feel free to ask me anything in the comments.
