The city of Sacramento wants to move the historic depot in preparation for a new intermodal transit facility in the rail yards.
The mayor says the city will have $67 million from Measure A and Proposition 1A funds to spend on this first phase. But spending that money now leaves them short on funds for subsequent phases. All told, the mass-transit hub could top out at $300 million. Both Fargo and Chandler use the words “ideally,” “think” and “hope” when describing the hub’s future funding sources. Those are not words Meyer’s uses when describing how to lift a 55,000-square-foot building 5 feet off the ground. |
City and County politicians need to begin a full court press on state representatives in Washington D.C. There's no better time than the present to start securing funds to do this. Especially with California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi now serving as Speaker of the House...
