Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid! Some of them were over 10+ checks probably more! Some servers are owed over 10k in tips,” the caption says. The

‘The most interesting economy in the region': How Rancho Cordova became a ‘hot town'

When Rancho Cordova approved an indoor soccer arena and surrounding development in a $185 million deal last week, the city of nearly 90,000 people east of Sacramento was burnishing a reputation as one of the region’s "hot” cities for businesses. “It’s where all the new stuff’s going,” said Greater Sacramento Economic Council President and CEO Barry Broome. The city, he said, has “made itself the most interesting economy in the region.” Rancho Cordova is growing faster than most other cities in California. City leaders said they have prioritized attracting investment and helping businesses navigate bureaucratic hurdles, with relatively affordable housing also supporting those efforts. The number of jobs in Rancho Cordova has grown to 74,000, up 10% since the city incorporated in 2003. An agreement with chip giant Nvidia is expected to bring school curricula and job training focused on the company’s technology. Three years ago, Solidigm, a memory storage company spun out of Intel, chose Rancho Cordova for its global headquarters. The company has invested more than $100 million in its local facilities in recent years and employs about 700 people in the region. But just as Rancho Cordova is attracting new investments, not long ago the community suffered

Pacific Power Seeks 57% Rate Hike for Northern California Customers

Pacific Power has asked California regulators to approve a 57% increase in customer rates, a request the utility says is tied to the mounting cost of hardening its grid against wildfires across its rural Northern California service territory. The filing, submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission in November 2026, could push the typical residential bill up by $120 a month if approved as written.

Sacramento's Railyards is building momentum. New housing may have to wait until 2028

Even though a hospital, concert venue and soccer stadium are coming to Sacramento’s Railyards, the district may not see new residential construction for several years. There are two apartment complexes there now — Wong Center and The A.J. Apartments — but one of the district’s lead developers said recently that he believes the Railyards and other parts of Sacramento’s core may not see home building speed up again until around 2028. “We’re just not in a place where rents and the market are supportive of new development,” said Denton Kelley, CEO of LDK Ventures, the master developer of the Railyards district. “...It will probably take until about ’28 before we start seeing new residential projects in the Railyards and, probably, within midtown and downtown.” The suburbs have seen more solid job growth, especially along the Highway 50 corridor where Folsom and Rancho Cordova are located. Kelley said cited recent investments in those areas by firms like Solidigm and Micron . That area will probably outperform the rest of the market for the next three to five years, Kelley said. The Railyards will compete with those cities’ “lifestyle centers” like the Palladio shopping center in Folsom or the Fountains in Roseville.

Delta Farmland Shrank From 538,000 Acres to 416,700 — Draft Report Seeks a Fix

Public comment opened in late September on the Delta Protection Commission's draft, which lays out 22 recommendations meant to strengthen protections for the region's agricultural land.
