Elk Grove Mayor Gary Davis on Friday confirmed the tentative agreement with NRC Manufacturing, a tiny circuit board maker in Fremont that has big plans for full-scale manufacturing. NRC would move into a 230,000-square-foot facility to be built on Elk Grove’s southern edge by Gold River developer Kamilos Cos.
The manufacturing facility would anchor the Southeast Policy Area, the last large-scale development area within the urbanized portion of Elk Grove, and one where leaders of the bedroom community hope to create 25,000 jobs. The 1,200-acre site is bounded by Highway 99 to the east, Kammerer Road to the south and Whitelock Parkway to the north. A half-built shopping center sits nearby– now earmarked to become an outlet mall.
