<br /> Smart San Leandro: A Connected City <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro is seeking grant opportunities to leverage public- <br />private partnerships and emerging technology resources to transform <br />traditional industrial districts into modern manufacturing workplaces. <br /> <br />The City’s historically robust manufacturing sector is resurging with a new <br />focus on fiber optics, additive/advanced manufacturing technologies and <br />art. Our mission to develop San Leandro as a Center for Innovation <br />includes improvement and expansion of a healthy industrial base through <br />physical/digital infrastructure investment. <br /> <br /> <br />Lit San Leandro <br />Local government plays a critical role in developing and maintaining a <br />healthy, connected ecosystem in which its residents, businesses and visitors can thrive. As a <br />result, Lit San Leandro, fiber optic infrastructure for the digital age, was created: <br /> <br /> In 2011, a 10 gigabit per second, 10.5 mile <br />fiber optic network was developed through a <br />unique public-private partnership. <br /> <br /> In 2012, the US Department of Commerce—Economic Development <br />Administration approved a $2.12 million matching grant to expand the conduit <br />infrastructure. The fiber optic network will grow to 19+ miles upon completion in 2016. <br /> <br /> <br />Lit San Leandro is providing infrastructure needed to transform our City into a <br />digitally connected community: <br /> <br /> Connected Businesses: Over three- <br />million building square feet and more <br />than 200 businesses have been <br />connected to Lit San Leandro since 2012 <br /> Connected Schools: In 2016, all San <br />Leandro Unified School District sites will <br />be connected to a 10 gigabit per second <br />dedicated, ubiquitous fiber optic <br />connection to the internet. Given San <br />Leandro’s ethnically diverse population, <br />Lit San Leandro provides a unique tool <br />for bridging the digital divide. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Truth is Beauty: Marco <br />Cochrane, Sculptor
