Restoration Planned for Old Sacramento Historic District
Plans pour into the oldest Sacramento area to convert 28 acres into a Williamsburg style historical district. The project envisions restored or replicated 19th century buildings with private redevelopment, riverfront road access, gas lamps, 200 to 300 upper-floor apartments, and a hoped 22 million annual visitors. Federal grants, loans, and state funds back the $30 million effort as vagrants linger near the Capitol.
