Three sites were offered, with the most promising of these three plans being offered by Strata Equity Group, a San Diego Real Estate Development Firm) who created the Cal State San Marcos Campus in 1990 which is located in the San Diego Area. It appears that the reason this idea is so promising is that Strata has already purshaed 440,000 acres for this project and they have clearly been through this exercise before.
This plan was submitted for an environmental review in 2008, and with the economic climate that has come before us all, this development may be stalled for a short while until the economy strengthens, but strongly remains on the radar within this area. Additionally, the Economic issues that face California today do not appear to lessen the desire that this community wants to build a new university, not to mention that a university of this magnitude will build and create jobs within this community.
This project is now slated to be build at Highways 58 and 14, next to the Kia Proving Track in Mojave, Ca. with California City, California just a couple of miles north of the campus.
This project is being created with all private donations, and will be at no cost to the people of California. Go to this site to read more. Additionally, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law that 1/3 of the state's clean energy will come from this very area by 2016.
Students who are looking at colleges and thinking about science and engineering majors, may want to consider this new Cal Poly, Hi Desert Campus. Read the article provided at the website provided below to see what the project is for the next 5 years.
