ACUSD Transportation Facility Nearly Complete
Amador County Unified
School District’s new transportation facility is nearly complete. The facility which has been under
construction for nearly two years has faced many obstacles, including earth
moving concerns due to asbestos, arsenic in the soil, and delays in the
manufacture of the actual building due to Hurricane Katrina. The
facility is located off of Lower Ridge Rd and Bowers Drive, behind the Bowling
Alley on Sutter Hill. The facility’s construction was also part of the Master Agreement between the school
district and District Attorney Todd Riebe as part of the agreement that put
Amador County Unified School District Buses back on the road in 2003
after the transportation department was basically closed down due to safety
concerns.
