September 2018 SCCC Business of the Month: CCGGA
Central Coast Greenhouse
Growers Association
(CCGGA) started in the late
1980s. It currently repre-
sents approximately 17
local nursery businesses in
the general Nipomo, Arroyo
Grande, and Santa Maria
area. Many of these busi-
nesses are family owned
and operated and have
been located on the Central
Coast for 20-30 years.
Many of the grower/owners
live on their nursery sites,
and in all cases, the man-
agement staff of these busi-
nesses are residents of our
local area making CCGGA
truly a homegrown organiza-
tion with its roots in the
local community. CCGGA
acts as a good neighbor,
providing information and
education to neighbors,
other community groups, or
businesses, as well as
county, state, or federal
agencies. The CCGGA acts
on behalf of its members in
resolving issues that arise
with neighboring communi-
ties as they work to coexist
and enjoy the numerous
benefits the Central Coast
provides for both living and
growing high-quality plants.

County News GB City Arroyo Grande
AG Council voted to disband
three of the eight City advi-
sory bodies: the Traffic Com-
mission, Parks & Recreation
Commission and Historical
Resources Committee in
order to streamline City
practices, re-prioritize work
and conduct business more
efficiently. Disbanding
these three advisory bodies
will result in an annual sav-
ings of $30,000 and more
importantly, will allow the re-
prioritization of 30 hours of
staff time per month to pro-
vide core services for the
community.
County Animal Shelter

proved by all 7 cities and
the County Board of Super-

Services facility for San
Luis Obispo County will be
designed and built near
the existing facility just off
Highway 1 between San
Luis Obispo and Morro

place the current deficient
building with a suitable
one that will allow for the
humane care of the ani-
mals in the County’s care
for years to come.
