By Allen Payton
On Friday, August 11 Antioch community and business leaders, and Chamber of Commerce members joined with Stacey Orozco, CEO of the Contra Costa Medical Career College and her staff and students to cut the ribbon to officially open their new location in Antioch.
The school relocated in town after trying to buy the former AAA building on Auto Center Drive in 2015. (See related article)

Mayor Sean Wright was also on hand to share his and the City’s congratulations.

So, on behalf of the City of Antioch we have a certificate of appreciation,” which he presented to Orozco.
She then shared her appreciation for the opening of the school in its new location.
