Sacramento, CA (Feb. 3, 2023) – The Sacramento City Council will vote Tuesday on a suite of programs designed to prevent people from being displaced from their homes along the Stockton Boulevard corridor when UC Davis opens its Aggie Square innovation campus.
The Council will approve specific spending plans for the first $2 million of $10 million set aside for anti-displacement investments in communities adjacent to Aggie Square. The anti-displacement effort – funded by the city and UC Davis -- is part of the broader Community Benefits Partnership Agreement for Aggie Square negotiated by Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Vice Mayor Eric Guerra and former councilmember Jay Schenirer with the advocacy group Sacramento Investment Without Displacement and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 3299, which represents employees at UC Davis.
