Apple\u2019s plans to build a\u00a0cutting-edge headquarters in Cupertino have been placed on the fast track by\u00a0Gov. Jerry Brown. The state’s decision will help\u00a0ensure that Apple will make its announced\u00a02015 deadline for completing the project.<\/p>\n

Sustainable features anchored the argument \u00a0for\u00a0shepherding the project through the California\u2019s rigorous environmental review. Brown commented that the project “brings at least $100 million in investment to California,” a potential that combined with planned net-zero emissions to earn a streamlined review. Furthermore, Apple qualified for\u00a0 fast-track status\u00a0in part because of its use of envionmentally friendly technologies. \"\"<\/a>Fuel cells and 650,000 square feet of photovoltaic panels will provide sustainable energy to more than 12,000 employees.<\/p>\n

According to legislation enacted last year, the Cupertino project qualifies as a \u201cleadership project\u201d and therefore would therefore face a streamlined judicial process in the event of court challenges. The Mercury News pointed out that expediting the process\u00a0 will help ensure that regulators honor the approved timeline.<\/p>\n

Apple’s headquarters\u00a0will showcase a design reminiscent of\u00a0a spaceship and reflecting\u00a0Apple\u2019s iconic style. The structure\u2019s clean, circular lines will pay homage to the\u00a0iPhone, the iPad and the Mac line. It is also among the final projects overseen by the late Steve Jobs, who was intensely involved in the new headquarters\u2019 design development.<\/p>\n
