Google barge, kicked out of S.F. Bay, gets warm welcome in Stockton

“The arrival of Google’s barge in Stockton has given a city beleagered by bankruptcy and negative press a jolt of excitement and hope.  Some see the arrival of the tech giant’s barge — believed to be some sort of floating showroom — as a potential boost to the economy and a move to help counter its negative image.  Google’s barge is made from dozens of shipping containers. It will be housed at the Port of Stockton for six months while the company completes construction of the boat.  In February the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission ordered Google to relocate the barge because the company did not obtain the proper permits to build it at the port.”
