“San Joaquin County is a hub of agricultural activity so it’s a natural that Agro-Culture would choose to locate here,” says Mike Ammann, president and CEO of the San Joaquin Partnership, a non-profit private economic development organization that helped the company pick the Central Valley county for its west coast expansion.

The Partnership assisted the company, which was represented by broker Tim Pryor of Mid-Cal Industrial Properties (and a San Joaquin Partnership member), with development fee estimates, permitting and habitat fee assistance, incentive information as well as information on local service providers.
