Workforce & Industrial Development

Located just south of Sacramento, Elk Grove is quickly establishing itself as a dynamic center for industrial and logistics growth in Northern California. The city’s strategic access to State Route 99, Interstate 5, and proximity to the Port of Sacramento and Sacramento International Airport makes it an attractive site for distribution, light manufacturing, and e-commerce operations.

Recent developments, such as the Southeast Policy Area (SEPA) and the Elk Grove Logistics Center, are bringing new, modern industrial space to the market. These projects are designed to accommodate large-scale users and offer flexible build-to-suit options, helping meet the region’s rising demand for warehousing and advanced manufacturing facilities.

Elk Grove’s business-friendly climate is supported by the city’s Office of Economic Development, which assists with site selection, permitting, and connections to local and state incentives. The city also partners with the Greater Sacramento Economic Council to attract new employers and facilitate investment in the area.

Workforce development is a priority, with resources available through the California Employment Training Panel and local programs at Los Rios Community College District. These initiatives help companies upskill employees in logistics, advanced manufacturing, and technology, ensuring a steady pipeline of qualified talent for growing businesses.
