Increasing Economic
Development in the
City of Lancaster
For over 10 years, Rosendin Electric has been a familiar face and
friend to the residents and businesses in the City of Lancaster. From
installing many utility scale projects in Antelope Valley and promoting
the value of green energy within the community, to supporting
the local Sheriff Department’s Annual Casino Night fundraiser,
Rosendin has become an active and valued community
partner.
he Rosendin team is
Tcomprised of residents from
the City of Lancaster. The work
that the company does within
the City is not just another job;
there is a great sense of pride
that goes into beautifying the
communities for families and
future generations, and bringing
Lancaster further into the age of
environmental sustainability.
In May 2018, the City opened
the much anticipated pedestrian
trails and bikeways to the local
community. What was once
dirt shoulders off the dual lane
highway, are now beautiful trails
that provide opportunities for
safe travel by foot and bicycle
and promote a healthier and
more active Lancaster.
When design of the
trails was completed

in November 2017, Rosendin’s
team worked on a two-mile
stretch of trails along Avenue
L from 70th Street West to
90th Street West, including the
southeast side of the project.
“During the trail construction,
the Rosendin team received a
lot of positive feedback from the
community,” said Rick Gonzales,
Division Manager at Rosendin
Electric. “Our goal is to provide
a pleasant experience to the
local community on any project
that we work on. We want to
maintain a minimal footprint, dust desert to construct a 20MW solar
control, and anything else that
would adversely affect the local
neighborhoods and towns. We
were told that our team on the
bike and trails project were great
neighbors.”
In 10 years, Rosendin has been
instrumental in installing 300 MW
of solar between all Lancaster
area high schools including 12
schools in the Antelope Valley
Unified High School District,
the Palmdale Unified School
District, and Antelope Valley
Community College. Most
recently, Rosendin installed the
new 17’ x 41’ jumbotron display
at the JetHawks field in time for
the All-Star games.
What started as a company
coming to the Antelope Valley
farm on 145 acres of abandoned
farmland, has developed into a
partnership. Rosendin Electric
and the City of Lancaster are
working together to help shape
the communities in which we
work and live.
