‘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.

Updated Sacramento County election results: Cofer widens lead over Guerra

Flojaune “Flo” Cofer increased her lead over Sacramento City Councilmember Eric Guerra on Friday in a closely watched race for the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, as election officials resumed counting hundreds of thousands of ballots from Tuesday’s midterm election. Cofer had received 54.5% of the vote compared with Guerra’s 45.5%, according to updated unofficial results released Friday afternoon by the Sacramento County elections office. The race to succeed longtime Supervisor Phil Serna in the 1st District remained too early to call as election officials continued processing mail-in and provisional ballots. “’Having an almost 10 percentage point lead after just the first week, we’re definitely excited about the possibility of winning,” Cofer campaign spokesperson J.T. Ghim said. He went on to say that it’s important that more votes be counted before declaring a winner. Guerra said in a statement that he would “like to be in a different spot” but that he’s “going to let the process play out.” The California Secretary of State’s Office estimated Friday that Sacramento County had 329,699 ballots remaining to be counted as of noon, more than the 271,406 ballots processed through Election Night. The county has 920,998 registered voters. Those outstanding ballots were spread
