KCRA<\/a> reports a new ballpark is being proposed for a 50-acre site in West Sacramento\u2019s Bridge District. The project would involve a mixed-use development featuring housing, retail, and restaurants, with $800 million in financing coming from land and private investment and $1 billion from the city of West Sacramento through tax increment financing, existing hotel taxes and additional sources.\n<\/p>\nMark Friedman, founder and chairman of Fulcrum Property and board chairman of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, said that the private funding will come from two tribal nations, the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians and the United Auburn Indian community.\n<\/p>\n
A new organization called The Sacramento Pitch has been formed to secure an expansion team. Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, who is an honorary co-chairman for this organization, acknowledged, the work will be a \u201cmarathon, not a sprint.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, let\u2019s be honest \u2013 this expansion process will be long,\u201d McCarty said. \u201cIt will be competitive. It will be hard. It won\u2019t be easy. But one thing is certain \u2013 \u201cSacramento is MLB-ready.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero, who is also an honorary co-chairman, added, \u201cWe are ready to compete for a permanent MLB team. What excites me most about this vision is what it could mean for the future of our city. For years, we had envisioned the Bridge District as a vibrant, waterfront destination where people can live, work and gather. And that it has become.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
