California's Capital Region: The Sacramento Valley

INTRODUCTION BY MAYOR DARRELL STEINBERG
The secret is out: Sacramento is rising. Those of us who live here have long appreciated the natural beauty, diversity and quality
of life in our city, but this past year it has also risen in the national consciousness as well. From Greta Gerwig’s Oscar nominations
for “Lady Bird” to national newspapers highlighting Sacramento as a tourist destination, the nation is talking about
California’s capital. We’re receiving recognition for being the nation’s Farm-to-Fork Capital of America, and our arts scene is burgeoning,
vibrant and raw.
With the foundation of well-educated residents and excellent universities, Sacramento is full of economic energy just waiting
to be released. We are investing in workforce and economic development like never before. Our Thousand Strong initiative is
creating internships opportunities for our youth and developing local talent. We created the Sacramento Urban Technology Lab
strategy to develop and implement innovation partnerships with business and academia. We’re already seeing success with our
first-in-the-nation 5G Verizon partnership, and we’re driving the leading edge on autonomous vehicles.
We are flourishing and looking for new partners to help us expand our economy and create high-wage jobs for our residents.
Sacramento is a rich environment for innovators and creators, for established businesses or start ups, to build something great.
While Sacramento is a town with a strong dedication to public service, it isn’t just that. There is rich history here. There are
diverse and strong communities here. There is astounding economic potential here. Sacramento is on the rise. Come be part of
a community like no other.
