This is directly tied to the abundance of land that is available to the land-locked Silicon Valley nearby to expand into. Agricultural competition from overseas in recent years has spurred Gilroy to move toward an economy that is more information-based rather than production-based. This has resulted in changes in the physical form of the city, as suburban sprawl from Silicon Valley commuters in taking over what once agricultural land.
