SANTA ANA
Tailgate Printing Inc., a Gardena-based screen printer, is moving its headquarters to Fairview Street and Segerstrom Avenue. Renovations are under way at a 72,000-square-foot industrial building and should be done this month. Construction crews have cleared out the inside of the building and are set to install screen printing equipment. Renovations are expected to cost $1 million. Tailgate plans to use the facility to print designs onto fabrics for its clients, many of which make clothes inspired by surfing and skateboarding. Most of Tailgate’s business comes from clothing makers and companies that want emblems printed on promotional items.
A new housing development called Canopy Lane is planned for Fairview Street and South Coast Drive. The 4-acre site formerly was home to school district buildings.
