If I understand an article in California Watch correctly, the Santa Rosa City School District will soon have a gespatial tech center with corporate sponsorship. But the sponsor is not yet named.
In January, the district will finalize its first corporate partnership: a $1 million deal to name its new geospatial technology center. For students, the deal means more than just a name-brand building, Miller said."We would hopefully want people from the industry to come in and speak to our students about career opportunities in the field in general, but also with their organization," she said.For the company, which Miller said she could not yet disclose, "it's the development of your next workforce." The company has asked to use the building during the summer, when school is not in session, as a training center for its employees. Local colleges also will use the facility for its observatory and weather station, she said.
Santa Rosa is about 12 miles north of San Rafael, California, home of Autodesk.
