"More than just words, the COE Center stands behind this proposal with the contribution of more than $2 million dollars of land and assets to a qualified Community College associate."

Dr. F. William Troost, Vice Chancellor for Education

The most unique elements of Coe Center are depicted in the circular graph. A 725 acre piece of land contains all elements of an entire community. The project is anchored by 2 schools: a lower division Community College Center, and an upper division Technical Manufacturing Institute (see purple zone). Another primary component is an industrial/manufacturing park (light blue zone) comprised of productive businesses. The education and industrial components are charged to work together synergistically, each supporting the mission of the other. The (dark green) circle represents dormitories for students, and startup living facilities for worker’s employed in Coe Center technical manufacturing industries. The (light green) residential zone will contain a limited number of single family residences for those desiring larger living quarters. The entire layout provides a climate responding to CA’s need to reduce hours of commuting and fuel consumption, traffic congestion, stress levels, and reduced productivity. It substitutes in it’s place, a tranquil environment nestled in the Sierra foothills where residents learn, work, and recreate together without adverse effects of living in large urban environments. It will reduce dangers and security concerns typically found in aging and densely populated central city locations. The overall goal is to create a new and better community model designed to elevate personal happiness and achievement, economic development ,and success for CA and our nation, without the need to import “product(s)” from oversea locations.

AN EXEMPLARY FEATURE of the COE Center: Wood Reclamation Plant.

The COE Center will directly combine Industry with Education! Lumber of all dimensions, primarily of west coast origin, is reclaimed from demolition projects. Material is thoughtfully re-manufactured into various new sizes and styles with the goal of superior quality materials offered to designers, architects, builders, and do it yourselfers. “The tree is one of natures greatest gifts to mankind. Properly managed and wisely re-used, one tree’s goodness can serve many generations in several forms.” (D. Silva) This plant is the Coe Center’s stepping stone to exploration of “green” and sustainable manufacturing techniques. It represents one facet of waste stream redirection. In so doing, this urban forestry practice relieves some of the ever mounting landfill volume while offering true quality products. This allows today’s trees another day to grow, resulting in true sustainable practice as a goal and model.

COE CENTER LOCATION:

approximately 37 miles east of Stockton CA. The site is halfway between the Canadian and Mexican borders. Stockton is a viable seaport, and distribution center for the Pacific Rim. Valley Springs is also part of the San Joaquin Valley which has been researched to be an area that desperately needs industry and manufacturing as a key to economic development and the creation of jobs.

FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

The chart above is a forecasted budget for operation of the proposed community college center for the campus at Valley Springs. It was derived by studying the Oakhurst community college center which is a satellite campus in the State Center Community College District. The town of Oakhurst has demographics very similar to Valley Springs. Both towns are located in the Sierra foothills region. The income projections were obtained from data provided by the auditors office in Calaveras County. Other projections are based on data and formulas associated with the Office of the State Chancellor, CA Community Colleges.
