Sacramento Press has carried several stories about the proposed McKinley Village development north of East Sacramento over the past few months. This Saturday, Sacramento Old City Association (SOCA) will hold its quarterly Preservation Roundtable, including a public forum about this event. Representatives of Riverview Capital Investments (the developer) will present the project and answer questions. Representatives of Marshall School New Era Park Neighborhood Association (MSNEPNA), East Sacramento Preservation and Friends of Sutter’s Landing Park will also be present to give their perspectives on the proposal. Representatives of the City of Sacramento will also be present to answer questions about the development process. There will also be opportunity for anyone present to ask questions and address all parties. The intent of the forum is to explore common ground between the developer, central city and East Sacramento neighborhood groups, in a public forum where all are welcome to participate.
