‘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

Upscale Mexican eatery is coming to Elk Grove's historic Railroad Street

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in Elk Grove. Rosa Madera is launching its second location in the Sacramento area at 9700 Railroad St. in Old Town Elk Grove. The site is taking over Horn Barbecue, which closed in February after nine months in business. Rosa Madera is originally from Orange County, with its flagship location in Santa Ana. The franchise came to Sacramento’s Valley Hi / North Laguna neighborhood at 7521 W. Stockton Blvd. in 2024. The restaurant’s most popular dishes include its enchiladas, carne asada street tacos, and its Los Favoritios plate, which is filled with birria chimichangas, al pastor nachos, and flautas de tinga, deep-fried corn tortillas with Mexican meat in a tomato-chipotle sauce. Its cocktail menu has just as much kick and flavor as its dishes, serving beverages like a sweet Mangoñeada, coconut margarita and spicy tamarindo. The restaurant has live entertainment, with a mariachi band performing on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as a live DJ, according to the restaurant’s social media. Rosa Madera did not respond to an interview request from The Sacramento Bee. An exact opening date has not been announced. The location

Rocklin approves 281 apartments despite parking concerns. Here's what changed

A divided Rocklin City Council approved a 281-unit affordable housing project Tuesday, capping a contentious review process marked by neighborhood opposition, parking disputes and concerns about the city's limited authority under state housing laws. The council voted 3-2 to approve the Midas Apartments, with Mayor Bass and Councilmember Ken Broadway opposed. The approval included several changes to the development plan, including a restriction preventing non-emergency vehicles from exiting the property onto Midas Avenue. The project includes 278 affordable apartments for households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income, along with three manager units. Parking remained one of the biggest concerns throughout the review process. Under Rocklin’s parking standards, the development would normally require 578 spaces. The approved plan instead provides 401, with adjustments permitted as long as the total remains at least 397. The developer previously added 25 parking spaces after an August council meeting by reducing some planned landscaping. Why the city cannot require more parking The project is located about 0.39 miles from the Rocklin Amtrak station. Under Assembly Bill 2097, which took effect in 2023, cities generally cannot require minimum parking for qualifying developments within a half-mile of certain public transit stops. Although the

Sacramento Mayor McCarty to outline priorities in annual State of the City address

Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty will outline his priorities for the city’s future during his second State of the City address Thursday morning at the Crocker Art Museum. The event could offer a preview of major city initiatives and priorities for the coming year. Unlike traditional State of the City addresses, the event will feature a question-and-answer session with a yet-to-be-announced interviewer. Potential topics include homelessness, economic development and a projected $40 million city budget deficit. Facing a $66.2 million budget shortfall in 2026, the city avoided widespread layoffs by eliminating vacant positions, raising fees and cutting homelessness spending. Many of the cuts produced ongoing savings, but the city must increase revenue or make additional cuts to balance future budgets. Addressing homelessness was a central promise of McCarty’s 2024 mayoral campaign. McCarty touts “significant process” in sheltering homeless people, pointing to the opening of 500 new beds in his first 15 months as mayor and a 19% reduction of people living unsheltered within city limits between 2024 and 2026. His signature initiative has focused on expanding shelter capacity for unhoused residents. In the spring, the city opened a 96-bed safe camping site in the River District , but the mayor’s primary

Early Elk Grove election results: Robles and Parks face off in 4th District

Elk Grove City Councilmember Sergio Robles led challenger Peggy Parks in early election night returns Tuesday as he sought a second term representing the city’s 4th District. As of 8:01 p.m., Robles had 65% of votes tallied, compared with 35% for Parks, according to unofficial Sacramento County election results . The initial results reflected ballots mailed before Election Day, with more votes left to be counted. Robles, 33, was first elected in 2022 and previously served on the city’s Planning Commission. A member of the California Army National Guard, he emphasized housing affordability, support for small businesses and programs helping first-time homebuyers. Parks, 58, a community volunteer, emphasized homelessness, traffic safety and improving city infrastructure. She also wanted to expand safety education about electric bicycles and hold regular office hours to hear from residents. Both candidates identified housing and community services as priorities , although they proposed different approaches to addressing the city’s needs. The 4th District covered much of southwestern Elk Grove, including neighborhoods south of Elk Grove Boulevard and west of Highway 99. The contest was the only Elk Grove City Council race on the November ballot. In August, the City Council unanimously appointed Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and
