Los Gatos moves to make a name for itself as tourist destination

But by the time the town council came around to her vision—approving $88,000 last week to fund the town’s Visitor and Information Center, social media and marketing—it was too late for her and the Chamber of Commerce she oversees as executive director.

They never really listened to us before.”Somers said there’s no bad blood between the Chamber and the council, and that the increase in funds will help the new executive director, who has not yet been hired, start with a clean slate.“With that validation and with the new executive director starting here, it really does open the doors for more collaboration with the town staff,” Somers said. “I th...
