This creative mixed-use project gets underway next to the American River Parkway in the Richards Blvd area, which will have 2,900 housing units eventually, doing wonders for that currently blighted area, and that is a very good thing.
The impact it will have, over time, on the long term degradation of that part of the Parkway due to illegal camping and the crime and habitat destruction connected to it, will be wonderful.
An excerpt from the Sacramento Bee.
“It was the oddest groundbreaking you've ever seen. Before 300 invited guests, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and officials of Township 9 counted down from 10 and let the wall fly, as you'll see in this video.
“The groundbreaking kicks off construction of Township 9, expected to place 2,900 new residences, as well as stores, offices and entertainment on 65 acres north of downtown Sacramento. It's near another big project that broke ground in April: the 240-acre Railyards project that will be home eventually to 12,000 new downtown residences.”
