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.
