Highlights of District 8 Leadership Breakfast

The South Sacramento community gathered at the Pannell Center on Saturday, March 22, 2014, for City Councilmember Bonnie Pannell’s District 8 Leadership Breakfast.

Attendees heard presentations that included the Entertainment Sports Complex, the police department, the public library, city finances, the drought, light rail, the Sacramento City Unified School District, and the Mack Road Property and Business Improvement District.

The Florin Road Partnership’s executive director, Larry Carr, reported on FRP’s recent projects, including:

- The planned opening of a Walmart Neighborhood Market in the former Walmart store at Southgate Plaza.
