Permits are active and work is proceeding on the Evergreen Village commercial center in north Morgan Hill, even though the Covid-19 pandemic has stalled portions of the project since construction started two years ago.
Plans for the 20-acre development at the corner of Butterfield Boulevard and Cochrane Road include a new 7-Eleven gas station and convenience store, restaurants, retail shops, a senior residential facility, hotel, offices and other commercial uses.
Currently, the 7-Eleven store is the only structure on the site. The building and gas pump infrastructure are built, but the business has not yet opened. Two people working Oct. 5 inside the convenience store—which hasn’t stocked any shelves or coolers yet—said they did not know when it would open.
