Dear City of Morgan Hill,My understanding is that the Catholic Diocese is to begin construction in 2016 on the South County Catholic High School. This is very positive news of a project brought to fruition. We needmore projects that benefit all of humankind in the Southeast Quadrant (SEQ).In September, I met with the founder of a national Montessori franchise to view sites in the BayArea. His franchise is opening several new locations in the U.S.There is interest in Morgan Hill, but in order for a Montessori franchise to be profitable, there needs to be 85 to 100 students enrolled at all times. We agreed to stay in contact; with SiliconValley so close to Morgan Hill, this type of academic program seems so vital. This academic application would be a positive complement to the academic environment of the Catholic High School.I am happy with this progressive forward advancement, as it benefits my family's property as well. We have encountered setbacks beyond control in the past, but I am determined to one day bring a very positive and lucrative business to my family property, as I also hope to work with our government officials to present laws and bills, that are taken seriously and passed.If not for what my family endured, I would have a custom home business to serve as a senior residential or other allowed land use built on my family property by now, generating a very lucrative income and serving both the community and our family trust and business.Best regards,Julie Borina DriscollMorgan Hill
