Cisco Systems' plan for a new corporate complex in CoyoteValley was unanimously approved by the San Jose City Council.
Despiteopposition from environmental groups, affordable housing advocates, andcivic leaders from neighboring cities, San Jose officials are excitedabout the new project, which is expected to raise more than $150 millionin tax revenues over the next 30 years. Opponents are worried that the6.6 million square foot campus designed for as many as 20,000 workerswill destroy open space, worsen the affordable housing situation, andincrease traffic. Environmental groups and officials from nearby citiesare ready to fight the development and are already preparing lawsuits.
