  • Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder
    Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder Company Overview Headquartered in Mountain View, CA Silicon Shores Corporation is the company overseeing operations of the Shoreline Lake Boathouse and American Bistro at the Shoreline Lake Recreational Area and Wildlife Sanctuary. Silicon Shores manages the facilities through a leasing arrangement with the City of Mountain View, which owns the Shoreline Lake park area. This private company, established in 2000, is incorporated in California. Christina Ferrari is the owner and President and entered into the relationship with the City in 2000. Given the origins of Shoreline Lake, the City of Mountain View’s transformation of 544 acres of junkyard, hog farm, two substandard dumps, low lying flood plains, and a sewage treatment plant into a nature preserve was quite an undertaking. Partnering with Silicon Shores ensured that the area can provide the services and amenities that the surrounding urban population and visitors would appreciate finding within a nature preserve. Vision & Mission The company’s goal for the Shoreline Lake area is to create an experience unmatched within Silicon Valley for residents and workers of the South Bay, and beyond. The centerpiece of the Park, Shoreline Lake is a man- made, 50-acre, salt water lake filled by waters pumped in from the San Francisco Bay that circulate back out into Permanente Creek. However, a densely populated, heavily-developed area surrounds the Park, which includes many well-known hi-tech firms (e.g., Google headquarters is right next door). Even so, Shoreline Lake, a safe and expansive waterway for many water sports, is also a wildlife sanctuary and home to many rare, migratory birds, such as the burrowing owl.

  • 2015 Annual Report.Indd
    TEAM SAN JOSE ANNUAL REPORT 2015 FROM OUR LEADERSHIP Dear Friends and Colleagues, It was a great year for San Jose and for Team San Jose. The team welcomed 1.49 million visitors to our managed facilities, generating over $134.9 million in direct spending to the local economy and earning $9.9 million in gross operating profit. In June 2015, Team San Jose exceeded our fiscal 2014-15 performance measures by 24%, marking the fourth consecutive year we have met or exceeded our goals. Strong hotel performance and solid growth in Transient Occupancy Tax provided the opportunity to expand our positioning as a premiere travel destination for business and meetings, as well as leisure travel. In the last year, to lead this new charge and foster our growing global identity, we launched a redesigned visitor-centric web experience at sanjose.org and enhanced our consumer social media presence. We also began working with Visit California in new ways for international promotion and crafted a brand partnership with CONTENT magazine for our first digital consumer newsletter. We worked closely with our stakeholders and cultural partners to welcome the world to the Bay Area for Super Bowl 50. As one of the world’s most important sporting events, the weeklong festivity attracted over a million visitors to the Bay Area and hundreds of millions of consumers via multiple media platforms. With the City’s Office of Economic Development, we spearheaded an inter-agency effort to ensure that our visitors had an exceptional experience and that San Jose maximized every media exposure opportunity available.

  • Silicon Valley's Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center And
    Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story By Lee Foster Author’s Note: This article “Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story” is a chapter in my new book/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. The subject is also covered in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. In Brief In California’s Silicon Valley, you can learn about the computer and technology revolution that is affecting the world today. For instance, the story comes alive at the new Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino. In addition you can visit three great museums located, appropriately, in this Northern California epicenter of innovation. These high-tech revolutions have altered the face of San Jose and the Silicon Valley. You find the area, which is 30-50 miles south of San Francisco. It stretches along the western and southern edge of San Francisco Bay. My Osborne Computer, 1980, a copy of which can be seen at the Computer History Museum Originally a bucolic ranching region, San Jose began as a small pueblo and Spanish mission in the 18th century. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the valley developed as one of the most important fruit-growing areas in the United States.
