City of San Jose
The people of San José and Silicon Valley have changed the world. The innovations born here over the past few decades have helped raise the living standards for hundreds of millions of people around the world. We are at the epicenter of the transformation of society from the industrial age to the information age and into the knowledge age.
From its early years as the Valley of Heart’s Delight, when San José was known for its bucolic hillsides and an expansive valley dotted with orchards of apricots, walnuts, cherries and plums, to its role as the Capital of Silicon Valley, San José has been known around the globe as a center of innovation.
Today, San Jose’s spirit of innovation is inspiring entrepreneurs to develop the technologies that will ensure reliable sources of clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, minimize the use of non-renewable power, and mitigate harmful impacts on the environment. The City of San José believes that ensuring a sustainable future for current and future generations requires the development of Clean Technology, without which, communities will become more polluted, the effects of global warming will increase, and our consumption of fossil fuels will continue our dependency on foreign oil. Building on the community’s history of technological innovation and environmental leadership, San José will advance its Green Vision.
San Jose’s Green Vision is a bold and comprehensive strategy to protect the environment and stimulate the economy. San José will show the world that becoming more energy efficient, producing and using electricity from clean renewable sources, creating green buildings, diverting waste from landfills, creating greener street systems, delivering recycled water, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions isn’t just good for the environment but is fiscally responsible. This vision includes 10 ambitious goals that will serve as a roadmap to an economically and environmentally sustainable future for America’s tenth largest city.
Piercey Toyota
Toyota is the acknowledged leader in fuel efficiency, having begun turning out cars like the gas-sipping Prius long before other makers hopped on board. Piercey Toyota is also as environmentally aware as possible: every fluid and part that can be recycled is reused or disposed of in compliance with state regulations.
If you’ve zipped by Interstate 880 near the Great Mall of the Bay Area lately, you probably saw it: the glittering new home of Piercey Toyota in Milpitas. It was the great success at its location in San Jose that made the relocation necessary. With its right-off-the-freeway convenience, accessibility to the new dealership is a snap. There is also plenty of room to show off all of the latest Toyota and Scion models as Piercey can now stock almost 1,000 vehicles — more than any other dealer in Northern California.
Now, Piercey’s 100-plus employees have breathing room to do an even better job serving their customers. You might think you’re in a four-star hotel, where everything is designed for customer comfort. The thoughtful design begins with the waiting area, which is furnished with generously sized wrap-around chairs and a 42-inch television. Even kids are made to feel at home with their own indoor play area.
William Piercey, chairman and founder of Piercey Toyota, may be a successful businessman, but his life is not exclusively devoted to cars, trucks and SUVs. Through his dealerships he has also built a strong philanthropic relationship with the community, with contributions to the Little League, public schools, the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life and drug rehabilitation centers. Such generosity reflects the same superior standards established and maintained by Piercey Toyota.
