City Picks Up Waterfront Site for $1

SACRAMENTO-Sacramento city officials are unsure about how they will use the vacant PG&E power plant and surrounding five acres, but have expressed a commitment to its use as a public space.

SACRAMENTO-The City of Sacramento has agreed to purchase a vacant PG&E power plant in downtown Sacramento and the surrounding five acres from the state for one dollar.

The building, which has been vacant for nearly 50 years, is a 19,500-sf, 1912 vintage structure. The city completed the land transfer with the stipulation that it will pay for toxic cleanups, if needed, making it ready for public use.

As far as the use of the building, city officials remain undecided about what they will do with it. The property overlooks the Sacramento River and is near a pedestrian bridge that is currently being built on top of a new water-intake station. A park-like environment is being considered for part of the power plant land that would connect with the bridge.
