    During the initial stages of Foster City's development, new growth was mainly residential or residential serving in nature.

    Since 1980, several major commercial and research and development uses have been completed, adding a substantial daytime work force population to the City and providing employment opportunities to Foster City residents.

    The largest employers today include VISA and Gilead Sciences.
