Room to grow<br />

Access to 355 acres of prime development property in<br />

the Sacramento area is being made possible with the help of<br />

our members from Teichert Construction. On the Hwy. 65<br />

interchange project in Rocklin, members are building the new<br />

University Avenue, which will connect Sunset Boulevard and<br />

Whitney Ranch Parkway.<br />

The new avenue references William Jessup University, a<br />

residential, four-year, private university that came to the area<br />

10 years ago and has steadily grown ever since. Once the<br />

roadway is complete, the campus plans to develop a threestory,<br />

40,000-square-foot dormitory that will house and provide<br />

recreational space for over 200 students.<br />

The expansive area surrounding the project is already zoned<br />

for business, commercial and residential use, but without<br />

access, that land has lied dormant for years, one of the few<br />

large, undeveloped pieces of land in Rocklin. Once access is<br />

available, the city estimates the location will host up to 7,000<br />

jobs, proving once again that the work Local 3 members do is<br />

literally the starting point for economic growth and community<br />

development.<br />
