‘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

Sacramento headlines: restaurant closure, fatal crash, SCUSD ICE clash

From a restaurant shuttered over rodent problems to a fatal crash and a letter sent to city leaders, Sacramento saw significant local news break on Friday. Here’s a quick rundown of what happened across the region. Sacramento County health inspectors issued a red placard to Tori’s Place, a Del Paso soul food restaurant at 1525 Grand Ave., after a live rodent entered during inspection and more than 160 droppings were found throughout the facility, along with 12 total violations including chicken thawing in stagnant water and raw eggs stored above cooked potatoes. Superintendent Cancy McArn sent a letter Friday asking city leaders to strengthen communication with the district’s Safe Schools department after ICE activity was documented near Ethel Phillips Elementary School, though Mayor Kevin McCarty said city attorneys warned that notifying schools could be seen as interfering with federal enforcement. A woman was killed early Friday when two SUVs collided and overturned near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and 22nd Avenue in south Sacramento around 6:20 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol, which said the driver was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown within the vehicle during the crash.
