Cupertino Growth Unveiled: In an unprecedented community engagement initiative, San José Spotlight orchestrated a compelling policy discourse that brought the Cupertino community together. This dynamic event, conducted in collaboration with the city, served as a platform for influential voices shaping the city’s development trajectory.
At the forefront of the discussion were Benjamin Fu, the astute Community Development Director, and Daniel Degu, the visionary Economic Development Manager. Their insights, complemented by the perspectives of Marvel Ang, Associate Director of Development for Charities Housing, and Josh Shumsky, the driving force behind the econic company, painted a comprehensive picture of Cupertino’s developmental landscape.
The panel explored the multifaceted facets of Cupertino’s growth, navigating through the intricacies of retail dynamics, the delicate equilibrium between job creation and housing availability, and initiatives to make the city more inclusive for its senior population.
