Township Nine

Township Nine is part of a larger redevelopment of Sacramento’s River District where an old rail yard with industrial plants is being revived. Over the past 14 years, the Sacramento Redevelopment Agency and the City of Sacramento have invested over 100 million dollars in federal and local public dollars to transition the River District from an industrial area to a diverse, urban, mixed-use district. The region includes the new headquarters for the California Highway Patrol, California Lottery and a new science museum within a historic powerhouse.
