SAN  JOSE — Frank Taylor’s name may be absent from its buildings, but his “mammoth influence” is tattooed across downtown and northern San Jose as leaders past and present mourned his passing Monday.

Taylor, 87, was the former longtime head of the San Jose Redevelopment Agency for two decades and is considered by city and business officials as one of the most critical visionaries for growing the tax base and transforming downtown with major projects that have become pillars in the community.
