2006: Year In Review
The news came in hard and fast this year. The city started construction on its long overdue wastewater treatment facility, ensuring economic growth in the coming years. A San Juan Bautista company was linked to a nationwide E. coli outbreak that sickened 200 people and possibly caused three deaths. This year, Hollister learned an important lesson about its annual motorcycle invasion after attempting to cancel it. In November, voters rejected a measure that would have allowed developers of a proposed 4,400-home senior community to skirt local building caps, while another proposed large development remains on track. A few weeks later, Hollister broke ground on a new wastewater treatment plant that will allow development, stalled by a state moratorium, to resume. A June fire devastated the historic St. Francis Catholic Retreat, destroying priceless artwork and religious artifacts.
