Roseville kicks Sacramento’s ass, wins downtown-development award.
The California Downtown Association awarded Roseville with a Crystal Eagle (!?) Achievement Award for its redevelopment efforts.
“The city of Roseville’s Historic Old Town project was recognized in the planning category for its strategic vision and for unique planning efforts that are potentially reproducible by other downtowns. The purpose of the project plan was to design and construct a new streetscape environment that effectively met the needs of businesses, customers, residents and railroad patrons; provided an environment that encouraged new business and development opportunities; and solidified the identity of Historic Old Town as a pleasurable public area where community activities and special events can be held.”
If Roseville is the model, then well, we’re screwed I guess?
