A new agreement with the union clears legal hurdles for the Aggie Square project proposed at 2751 Stockton Boulevard in Sacramento. The project proposal includes the development of a residential project.
On behalf of the University of California, Wexford Science & Technology LLC is the project developer.

Under the terms of the agreement between the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees 3299, the city and the University of California (UC) will create a $5 million housing stabilization fund to assist service workers at the project who might otherwise be displaced.
UC has committed to employing its employees for service and maintenance roles and for some tenants at the research and education center planned for south of the UC Davis Medical Center on Stockton Boulevard. By doing so, as many as 200 additional future workers at Aggie Square will be union-represented. As a result of the agreement announced Monday, AFSCME is withdrawing a petition challenging the project’s environmental approvals.

Other conditions of the agreement include transit passes for UC service workers at Aggie Square, wage and benefit equity between UC employees in service positions and those in similar roles at the project who aren’t represented by labor, and both air-quality monitoring stations and more fruit trees on the site.
