  "textContent": "May 11, 2026 – Community opposition is mounting in Gilroy after residents learned that a large Amazon data center project was approved without a public vote or city council hearing.\n\nThe project, proposed by Amazon Data Services, was approved last year by Community Development Director **Sharon Goei** following a multiyear environmental review process.\n\nUnder Gilroy’s zoning code, data centers are permitted uses within the city’s M2 General Industrial district and only require an Architectural and Site Review Permit issued at the staff level.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
