The new A-Check facility is a 12,000-sf building that is underconstruction at the 56-acre University Research Park. A-Check VPCarlos Lacambra says the company chose the new site because of thestrong technology base at the project and the incentives offered bythe City of Riverside.

The city provides low-cost electrical power through itsmunicipal utility and is assisting with A-Check's work forcerecruitment and development. Lacambra says that A-Check also chosethe new location for a variety of other factors, including theproximity of the University of California at Riverside and rentalrates below those at comparable facilities in Los Angeles andOrange counties.
