• Sharks 'Pause' Gilroy Ice Skating Facility 'Indefinitely' (sanjoseinside.com) — Gilroy officials have indefinitely paused plans for a major Sharks Ice skating complex at Gilroy Sports Park after construction and borrowing costs ballooned beyond what the city and team can afford. The city has already spent about $1 million on pre-construction work but will continue moving ahead with annexing the sports park, which leaders still see as key to Gilroy's long-term economic development.
• 'On a hot streak': Big leases, smaller vacancy rates help rally in Silicon Valley office market (siliconvalley.com) — Gilroy's office market is among the tightest in the South Bay, with Gilroy/Morgan Hill vacancy dropping to just 1.5% as leasing surges across Silicon Valley. Strong demand from tech and AI firms, plus major renewals in Sunnyvale, is helping fill more space than becomes vacant, signaling a healthier regional economy that can influence jobs and business growth for local residents.
