John Horner, Chamber of Commerce President and CEO
Fortunately 2018 has been a good year so far for both the
Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce and the vast majority of our
members. The biggest business challenge we frequently hear
about is finding the people needed to meet expanding demand
for products and services. Not every organization finds itself
with this issue, but many of do. One of the few good things
coming about with the increasing difficulty of commuting north is that many people who
live in the South County and commute north to their jobs every day are very interested
in finding jobs closer to home. According to the latest (2015) data posted at onthe-
map.ces.census.gov, over 19,000 people leave Morgan Hill to go to work each day. This
is a tremendous talent pool for local businesses and organizations.
The Morgan Hill Unified School district’s over 800 employees make it the single largest
Morgan Hill based employer. Superintendent Steve Betando recently reported that
recruiting for the 2018-19 school year has been easier than in other recent years
specifically because teachers, administrators and other experienced staff are highly
motivated to get off the highway and work closer to home. Hopefully this will be a reality
for many of the rest of you who are trying to hire great people.
Another bit of transportation related news is the ongoing evolution of California’s High
Speed Rail project. This past year has seen a significant turnover in executive and lower
level staff at the High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA). This new leadership recently rolled
out a significantly different business plan with major implications for our south county
area. The short version of the story for our area is that HSRA is now focusing on creating
an electrified multi-track rail line from Gilroy to San Francisco with targeted operating
speeds in the 110 mph range on tracks intendent to be shared with Caltrain and
primarily within the existing Union Pacific/Caltrain rail right-of-way. Estimates of the
required width of this right-of-way range from 60 to 100 feet depending upon
engineering assumptions and ongoing negotiations between HSRA and Union Pacific
(which owns the current tracks and right-of-way). We continue to participate in many of
the meetings at which these matters are discussed and are working with HSRA to bring
another open-forum discussion to Morgan Hill sometime in July or August.
Transportation, housing availability and housing costs continue to be major concerns
affecting business vitality in our region. We are doing what we can to be productive
participants in the conversations and decisions which impact these areas. Please keep
letting all of us here at your Chamber of Commerce know your thoughts on these topics
and anything else of concern to your organization.
Thank you for your membership, support and time.
