The Oakland Biotechnology Initiative

Based on this vision, develop a plan for growth that addresses critical aspects of success for companies in this industry like:

          - Connectivity to transit (and to the UC Berkeley Campus, LBNL, as well

             as San Francisco 

          - A critical mass of similar companies, making it easier for each company

             to recruit (shared labor pool, professional development opportunities,

            and greater dynamism within the life sciences “cluster” in the East Bay).

          - Supportive infrastructure and related amenities:  the success of smaller

             companies serving a working population:  eateries, copy shops, dry

             cleaners, etc.  

 

Based on this vision, develop a plan for growth that addresses critical aspects of success for area residents like:

           - Access to employment and training opportunities related to this industry

              or its supporting industries. 

           - Quality of life improvements in terms of additional services and retail

              provided in the areas in question. 

           - Increased public safety.
