A new rail center is in the works for Anaheim, California that will have a link provided to take you and yours to Disneyland.

Taking a cue from NYC’s Grand Central Station, this new eco-friendly rail center will be a site in itself to see and will be called ARTIC (Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center).

According to JambleMag.com, “The shell of the building will be constructed with an expandable EFTE membrane – a material that expands and contracts to control natural light. It will also be fitted with photovoltaics and hot water heating cells.”

The green project is expected to being construction next year and with eyes on completion in 2013.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Monday a plan to enlist California’s youth into a green jobs program.

In his latest eco-friendly efforts, the governor revealed the California Green Corps which will train young adults between 16 and 24 to work in the state’s green-tech industry.

Schwarzenegger stated at the press conference Monday that he was taking a page out of Obama’s book, saying, “It’s the kind of program President Obama envisioned when he put together the economic stimulus package. It’s all about jobs, jobs, jobs.”

The new green program will be monitored by his volunteerism assistant Karen Baker and will receive around $20 million in initial funding.
