Clean energy has become big business and Sacramento city leaders are trying to attract more of it. The city is offering incentives like tax credits, financial assistance, and streamlined permitting to any clean technology company that moves in.

The old Amy Depot on Florin Perkins Road and Fruitridge Road is the center of the new area the city is now calling a "clean tech zone." Business owners are already excited for the idea. "Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could make a product that the customer wants, society wants, you make a profit and you feel good about it," said Trong Nguyen, Owner of Workwise.

The depot was built in the early 1940's before World War II and closed in 1991. Some of the land has been taken over by industry. Now the city is hoping all of it will be bustling with green technology.
