SAN JOSE — In a bid to get San Jose’s final blessings on its broad downtown vision, Google has offered to pony up $200 million in community benefits as part of its plans to build a transit-oriented village where as many as 20,000 people could work.

The proposal includes money for anti-displacement efforts and affordable housing, two urgent concerns that have galvanized the community. Some previous critics of the  project said the new proposal is a significant step forward.
