Rancho Cordova: Where Are the Playgrounds?
Rancho Cordova is booming with new homes and families. But where are the fun spots for kids and parents to enjoy? Right now, choices are slim.
Limited Options for Family Entertainment
Peek-a-Boo Factory is one of the few new places trying to fill this gap. They opened recently because they saw a big need for family-friendly spots.
Other places like Sactown Family Fun offer some fun, but many people wish there were more options. They want safe and exciting places for kids to play and families to spend time together.
City's Plan to Attract More Businesses
The city is listening and thinking about ways to bring in more businesses. City leaders are considering offering money to attract new entertainment and dining spots. They might pay up to $25,000 to bring in:
- Movie theaters
- Bowling alleys
- Fitness centers
- Child care services
- Full-service restaurants
The goal is to make Rancho Cordova a top place for family fun and boost the local economy.
Funding and Decision-Making
The money for these incentives comes from a sales tax increase approved by voters in 2020. The city council will decide on this plan soon.
Business owners like Gabby Hernandez from Peek-a-Boo Factory think this is a great idea. It could bring more opportunities and make the city a better place for families.
Questions and Concerns
But will this plan work? Some might wonder if the money could be used in other ways. Others might ask if the city should focus on different things first. It's a big decision, and everyone will be watching to see what happens next.
