Hi,

We believe that one of your articles titled “Slice of Santa Clara boasts more homebuilding than San Francisco” on 12.26.24 has incorrectly misidentified one of our directors.

The quote in your article was “We don’t need to sell Santa Clara as a good place for housing,” Lola Brilliot, executive director for Relate’s 20-story senior project Ellore, told the Chronicle. “We had developers lining up — I had to get contract staff to work with us to process the number of planning applications we got submitted that year.”

Our Economic Development Director from the City of Santa Clara is Reena Brilliot, not Lola Brilliot. She was interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle and her quote to them was “A lot of jobs are in North Santa Clara, so it was intended to start providing some housing options,” said Reena Brilliot, Santa Clara’s director of economic development and sustainability. “We don’t need to sell Santa Clara as a good place for housing,” Brilliot said. “We had developers lining up — I had to get contract staff to work with us to process the number of planning applications we got submitted that year.”

Here is the Chronicle’s story link Clara Junction is one of Bay Area’s fastest-growing neighborhoods

Can you please correct this error and attribute the quote to Reena Brilliot, City of Santa Clara’s Economic Development Director?

Thank you,

Janine
