Come and grow in SACRAMENTO
Sacramento is the capital of California, the 6th largest economy in the world and currently one of the fastest growing metropolitan region in the country. Construction of new high-rise buildings in the Downtown Area, retention and expansion of new employment centers in our business parks and the revitalization of older commercial corridors mark current advances in commercial real estate in California's capital. Add to that new sports facilities and hotels along the Sacramento River and a major increase in cultural and retail opportunities make Sacramento the premier place to Live, Work, Learn and Play in California.

California's first incorporated city has become the first choice among smart California businesses. When the 49ers journeyed to the Sierra foothills in search of gold more than 150 years ago, many stopped on the way and decided to stay in Sacramento. The qualities that made Sacramento an attractive seat of commerce back then are still compelling today. California's capital city is home to high tech manufacturers, software developers, biotechnology and medical research laboratories, food processors, medical equipment manufacturers, call centers and distribution facilities.

We're rock-steady
Unlike coastal California, where there's often a whole lotta shakin' going on, Sacramento is rock-steady. Numerous firms have found the seismic stability of the Sacramento region ideal for precision manufacturing and operation of sensitive instrumentation, as well as for critical functions such as data processing centers.

Getting around
Just as it was in the gold rush days, Sacramento is a transportation hub, served by an air cargo airport, an international airport, a deep-water shipping port, two major Interstate freeways, freight and passenger rail lines, and an extensive regional commuter bus and light-rail system.

Getting away
Closer to Lake Tahoe than any other California metropolitan area, Sacramento also offers exceptional proximity to the legendary Napa Valley wine country, national parks and seashores. Sacramento itself is a cultural and recreational destination, with an orchestra, professional opera and ballet companies, numerous performing arts venues, a lively museum community including the oldest art museum west of the Mississippi River, professional sports, and endless opportunities for sporting and recreation activities. Sacramento's high contentment quotient will sit very well with your employees - and with you.

Getting things done
As headquarters for the state government, Sacramento is widely regarded as the center of decision-making. The region's leading institutions of higher education, including California State University, Sacramento, and the world-renowned University of California, Davis, offer opportunities for internships, technology transfer, and contribute substantially to the quality of the region's labor pool. Our higher education facilities offer programs in business, law, medicine, computer science, engineering, nuclear physics, biological sciences, and other specialized disciplines. The UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento encompasses a Level 1 trauma center, comprehensive cancer treatment center, children's hospital, neuromuscular skeletal institute, and transplant services. The Sacramento region also has five community colleges, several private institutions of higher education, and more than 160 vocational and training programs.
