• Can Technology Help Track Persistent Landfill Odors? (envirolink.org) — Milpitas residents living near the Newby Island landfill are getting new high-tech help in the long fight against persistent odors, as local authorities require drones, chemical monitors, and automated gas collection to better track smells. Officials hope continuous monitoring will pinpoint odor sources more quickly, while experts note advanced control systems can remove most problem compounds if properly used.
• 'On a hot streak': Big leases, smaller vacancy rates help rally in Silicon Valley office market (siliconvalley.com) — Office space in the Fremont/Milpitas market is tightening slightly, with vacancy at 10.1% as Silicon Valley leasing picks up and big tech renewals in nearby Sunnyvale signal renewed confidence. While San Jose and Campbell-Los Gatos still see higher empty space, strong net absorption across the South Bay suggests improving prospects for Milpitas-area landlords, tenants, and workers.
