On Thursday, June 18, Governor Newsom highlighted the grand opening of Yreka Carnegie, a recently renovated vacant historic library that will serve as a rural hub for business innovation, entrepreneurship and community connection serving Siskiyou County and the North State. The project was backed by $3.65 million in state funding, comprised of $2.15 million from the Regional Investment Initiative and $1.5 million from the California Strategic Growth Council’s (SGC) Regional Climate Collaboratives Program.
The renovated building will be a space for agriculture, outdoor recreation tourism, and timber sectors to develop new products, cross-collaborate, and develop climate resiliency practices. It will also serve as the headquarters for the Siskiyou Economic Development Council (SEDC) and house the Shasta-Cascade Small Business Development Center. The full announcement is available HERE.
