By Winnie Comstock, Comstock's Magazine: This month, Mayor Kevin Johnson’s Sacramento First Task Force will make recommendations as to how the city could get the most value from a proposed sports and entertainment complex.
Kudos to Johnson, who breathed new life into discussions about building an arena. He challenged potential developers and the public to think big and imagine Sacramento as home to a world-class facility to host the Sacramento Kings and much more. His challenge resulted in seven creative new proposals.
We have an excellent set of proposals for a new entertainment complex and a solid process for judging which of them could most help the economic and social development of Sacramento and the region.
The time for politicking and posturing is over. Let’s pin down financial details, agree on a plan that pencils out and get moving.
