What Is Open  Space Authority ?

 The Santa Clara Open Space  Authority was created by the State Legislature in response to efforts by  citizens and local governments of Santa Clara County. The Authority is governed  by a directly elected seven- member board of directors, each representing a  unique district.
The Authority is comprised  of the cities  of San Jose, Morgan Hill, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Campbell  and much of the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County.


Why is Open Space a vital part of our community? 

 It allows space for people to connect with nature and for natural habitats to thrive . It is where we come together with family and friends, where our children run free and discover that they belong to something greater than themselves.I am committed to helping provide  a  place where people and nature  come together and benefit from each other's presence.


Authority's  Purpose :

 The preservation of Open Space and the creation of green belts  between communities, lands on the valley floor, hillsides, viewsheds and  watersheds, baylands and riparian corridors are immediate high priorities.
 These are needed to counter the continuing and serious conversion  of these lands to the urban uses, to preserve the quality of life in the County  and to encourage outdoor recreations and continue agriculture activities for  generations to come.

 

 

 

 "As a Open Space Director Cy Mann will ensure our children have open space for generations to come."

-Don Gage
Santa Clara County Supervisor

 

 

"Cy Mann is the right choice for Open Space
