Faced with a shaky economy and company-wide layoffs, Google is reassessing the timeline for construction of its massive office development in downtown San Jose.
"What we've heard from Google is that they are assessing the timing of the project and figuring out how they will proceed with the project. They remain fully committed to the downtown West project," Mayor Matt Mahan told KPIX.
City officials said that given the size, scale and complexity of the project, construction was likely to stretch out over a decade or two regardless of any economic slowdown.Nonetheless, it is not-so-good news for a region still struggling to recover from the pandemic and work-from-home policies. Akkari shut down his restaurant during much of the pandemic and has only reopened recently. He told KPIX the return of office workers and overall economic recovery has been slow-going.
Google Village was never going to be a short-term solution to what is currently ailing many downtown areas including San Jose.
