This week in Gilroy, the city advanced its Civic Center Master Plan with the release of a Draft Environmental Impact Report. The plan proposes a major reinvestment in the civic core, including demolition of the existing City Hall, Wheeler Auditorium, City Hall Annex, and senior center to create a reimagined downtown hub. Elsewhere, Gilroy’s local activity included participation in county-level discussions on waste management and organic waste processing facilities, which may influence future development and neighborhood planning in the city.
