If I were mayor.............
I would work to have more bridges constructed across the Sacramento River, so as to connect what will become an obvious expansion of downtown Sacramento.
I would invest in cultural amenities (to do that the Mayor needs to sell the idea of a hotel tax or some other tax to invest in our amenities which will help to lure more jobs etc........)
a) Performing arts center
b) an arena in the Rail Yards
c) Invest in an immediate expansion of the Riverfront Promenade.
I would actively go courting existing companies and find out what it would take (tax break incentives etc) to lure them to Sacramento. Proximity to the Capitol might illicit State help.
Mayor Fargo is no leader.
