The California Department of General Services, responsible for the state owned buildings throughout the state is presenting a plan to sell many of the buildings that are outside the city of Sacramento due to aging, and state of repair. The plan would take 18 months to accomplish and requires legislature approval. A State workers in San Jose, Fresno and San Diego would be affected soonest, according to a Department of General Services proposal that calls for disposing of nine of 21 state-owned buildings around the state. The plan also recommends selling or otherwise disposing of offices in Stockton, Redding, Red Bluff, Santa Rosa and Los Angeles, but does not specify timelines for those. Employees who work in the buildings in the larger cities likely could move to leased spaces, while those in the smaller cities might need new buildings. There are also 11 state buildings in Sacramento that have a renovation plan of their own that will span 10 years.
