In November 2022, the City Council approved the formation of the Morgan Hill Property Business Improvement District (MHPBID) in Downtown Morgan Hill. The purpose of the MHPBID is to provide improvements, maintenance, and activities which constitute and convey a special benefit to the assessed parcels within the Downtown District. To manage the Business Improvement District, the assessed property owners have formed the Downtown Morgan Hill Improvement District (DMHID), a 501c6 non-profit organization, to manage the PBID. The DMHID Board Directors will develop and implement a focused strategy that supports the purpose and goals of the MHPBID.

The City of Morgan Hill adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2021, which included a key central goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reaching carbon neutrality by 2045 and working toward this goal through several sub-goals, action items, and planning efforts. Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) awarded the City two grants, which strategically align with the CAP goals.
The first grant will help fulfill the CAP goal of "converting all municipal buildings to "all-electric" by 2035" through the development of a new "all-electric" Fire Station and interpretive meeting area in the adjacent park space. The City's new Fire Station is anticipated to open in late 2024. The second grant will help implement the CAP's outreach, education, and engagement initiatives by supporting community activities related to climate change.
