RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA—CBRE SVP Len Santoro brought a little more “green” to San Bernardino County this August, as he found a home for XT Green’s new advanced manufacturing operation. The 126,620-square-foot facility in Rancho Cucamonga, CA—which will double as the company’s headquarters—will operate the company’s new technology that recovers carpet from landfills.

Santora shared more on XT Green’s site selection process, what tenants are looking for today and what makes the County a strong choice for advanced manufacturing in this EXCLUSIVE interview for GlobeSt.com.
