Project Overview The San Leandro Smart City Initiative recognizes the critical role of government in developing and maintaining a healthy ecosystem in which its residents, businesses and visitors can thrive. Building on the Lit San Leandro public/private partnership that has created an-�,, YJ YR1u:Y existing and expanding 10 -gigabit fiber optic network, San Leandro u w u is poised to leverage that digital infrastructure to transform our u �■■�.� City into a vibrant digital society. GIGABIT NEIGHBORHOOD San Leandro possesses the critical ingredients required for creating a model, sustainable and digitally connected City: • Leaders who inspire the pursuits of economic, social and environmental sustainability; • A city government, business leaders, and community residents who collaborate; • A proven ability to leverage existing resources through innovation and technology to improve services and reduce costs; and • Ongoing efforts to intentionally nurture an engaged and vibrant digital society that strengthens our social capital and stimulates digital inclusion. The digital foundation we've laid to date includes: • Development of a public/private partnership, called Lit San Leandro (LSL), which has created an 11.5 mile, UtSanLeandro 288 strand, 10 gigabit fiber optic network to stimulate economic development and create jobs. • An additional $4.2 million investment by the Economic Development Administration and the City of San Leandro will add 7.5 miles to the LSL network in 2014. • Over fifty businesses, co -working and incubator spaces in two cities (San Leandro and Berkeley) are now connected to the LSL network, totaling 2.8 million square feet (s.f.) of commercial building space. • Connection to LSL has attracted hundreds of thousands of dollars of reinvestment into a former Dodge/Chrysler automotive plant to create a 350,000 s.f. technology center for advanced manufacturing, known as 'The Gate". The Gate has leased over 50,000 square feet of new space since May, including leases to two 3D printer manufacturers. • A City of San Leandro and LSL partnership with U.S. Ignite, a White House program with a mission to "ignite" the development and deployment of new apps with profound impact on how Americans work, live, learn and play. In a competition sponsored by Ignite's partner, Mozilla Ignite, the City's team took a first place prize in a gigabit fiber application: Remote Process Control. • Recognition by regional and national media of the innovation represented by Lit San Leandro, resulting in articles and videos published by the Wall Street Journal, San WSJ Francisco Business Times, Fortune and CBS News. Lit San Leandro received a 2013 Real Estate Deal of the Year Award by the San Francisco Business Times in the category of "Infrastructure/Public-Private Partnerships • The hiring of the East Bay's first Chief Innovation Officer, funded through a public/private partnership to cultivate the creation of a thriving innovation and tech ecosystem. • A visit by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski following the announcement of his Gigabit City Challenge. The Chairman identified the critical need for more innovative public/private partnerships like Lit San Leandro to create the fiber optic highways that enable "innovators [to] develop next - generation applications that will drive economic growth and global competitiveness." • Partnership with OSIsoft to install its PI software in all Municipal buildings, extracting data out of all building systems, organizing it and making it visually accessible as a major step aESAN<F9�o toward increased building efficiencies and reduced energy usage.
