MARKET ANALYSIS
Johnson Consulting examined the current market conditions of Morgan Hill in relation to economic
indicators of Santa Clara County, the State of California and the United States. The key objective of this
research was to identify structural factors, opportunities and weaknesses that may affect the market’s ongoing
competitive situation. While characteristics such as population, employment and income are not strict
predictors of the success and impact of indoor multi-purpose sports complexes, these factors can provide
insight into the capacity of a market to yield ongoing support for the infrastructure associated with a facility,
such as potential corporate partners and users of the facility.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Morgan Hill is located off U.S. Route 101 in North-Central California, southeast of San Jose. The growing
technology industry in nearby Silicon Valley (30 miles northwest) has had a strong influence on Santa Clara
County. Leading companies in the technology sector that are based in Santa Clara County, are providing high-
paying and high-skilled employment opportunities in a vacation-type climate, which has driven upward the
area’s total cost of living. The following map displays Morgan Hill’s location in relation to major cities in the
surrounding area. In Figure 3-1, Morgan Hill is denoted in light blue in the map below.
