Santee Chamber Weekly Update 19SEP24

Hello Santee!

Yesterday, the Santee Chamber of Commerce hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for Sedano Chevrolet, the city's first new-car dealership. Owned by East County native Manny Sedano, a Veteran who grew up in Lakeside and attended El Capitan High School, the dealership represents a significant development for the community. The dealership is being built on a historic property, once home to Santee’s original schoolhouse, Cowle’s School, which was later renamed Santee School in 1893 before closing in 2003. The property also housed the Santee Chamber's offices from 1978 to 2018. Longtime Santee company, the Cameron Brothers, partnered with the Sedano Auto Group to make this project a reality. The Chamber is excited about the revitalization of this iconic site and the new opportunities it brings, especially among so many automotive related businesses in the area!
