Fallon Road Economic Development Zone

The City Council has made economic development a high priority and approved a General Plan Amendment for approximately 73 acres east of Fallon Road. The City Council has also prioritized commercial and industrial development in this area. Specifically, the City’s vision is for these properties to be developed with economic and job-rich uses such as Life Science, Advanced Manufacturing, Clean/Green Technology, Automation and Robotics, Technology, Startups, and Incubators. 

On May 18, 2021, the City Council established the Fallon Road Economic Development Zone (Fallon Road EDZ) and the creation of an Incentives Package for properties within that zone. The goal of the Fallon Road EDZ is to transform the area into a thriving corridor that capitalizes on its location along the I-580 freeway and to create opportunities for new uses and services in the community, generating new jobs and tax revenues.
