Is the 720-acre question a done deal before research is in?
On Monday evening the City Council voted 4 to 3 to accept the North Gilroy Neighborhood District (NGND) Water Supply Assessment, prepared as part of the effort to bring 720 acres into Gilroy and develop it into a sprawling housing development. The Assessment is an evaluation of the ability of Gilroy’s water supply to support approximately four thousand new homes in the proposed development. It concludes that yes, our water supply can do that. Four of the council members bought that conclusion. Council members Bracco, Tucker and Velasco disagreed, and so do I.
