Sacramento Local Conservation Corps

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

On June 3, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps announced the start of a $2.9 Million capital campaign to fund a permanent home for the SLCC. For the first time in 20 years, the SLCC will have a permanent home - and double the space.

With allocated bond funds from Proposition 40, SLCC climbs toward their goal of $2.9 Million.

Thank you to those who have contributed as of December 31, 2006

Education Building
Operations Building

The Corps has been operating out of temporary (and overcrowded) quarters ever since the first Corpsmember enrolled over 20 years ago. The new home for the SRCC will consist of two buildings in South Sacramento adjacent to the 47th Avenue Light Rail Station. The combined facilities will provide approximately 22,000 square feet of interior space for vehicle and equipment storage, classrooms, computer lab, career center and administrative offices. This is double the current space.

The design and construction plans for the SRCC Education Building, are being developed around The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. LEED's Green Building Rating System centers on reducing the impacts of buildings on the environment and contributing to a sustainable future. Projects achieving LEED Certification are energy efficient, use renewable and recycled resources, achieve reduced carbon output and measure indoor air quality to maintain healthy working/learning environments.

Construction for both the Education and Operations Buildings is expected to commence in July 2007 with the staff and corpsmembers occupying the buildings by the end of the year.
