American Telephone and Telegraph Long Lines is coming to Pleasanton. According to an AT&T executive the company will occupy six buildings at the Hacienda Business Park.

The communications firm will employ approximately 1,500 engineering operations and support personnel at the Hacienda location.

Fred Wehmann, Western Region Vice President of AT&T said, "Given our tight time limitations and high office space cost in San Francisco we ended up making an economic decision to go to the east bay and consolidate the additional space needed in the Pleasanton area. We found land and buildings there that would provide us with better facilities than any we could afford downtown (San Francisco)."
