New San Leandro — The Video Debut!
The City of San Leandro proudly presents New San Leandro – the video. This video is the second in a series of videos designed to showcase San Leandro as a city that is transforming itself into an innovation and technology economy.
In the City of San Leandro – We Make Things! We’ve always made things — and this City’s industrial companies have always operated as advanced manufacturers. Today both established and startup businesses are using the new tools of technology, including fiber optics, lasers, robotics and other techniques. The companies are creating well-paid jobs that offer professional paths for the millenial generation in San Leandro and throughout the region.
