City council to approve millions to help curb violence in Old Sacramento
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — After seeing so many businesses close during the pandemic, the Sacramento City Council is ready to approve the use of $112 million to bring the city back online.
They also want to help places like Old Sacramento, which has seen a recent uptick in violence and harm to businesses this year.
It’s a labor of love for Atrium’s CEO Shira Lane, who found a shuttered warehouse and turned it into a family-friendly studio and galleria.
“You can come, sit and paint a canvas, sip kombucha. You can make a magic wand,” Lane said. But recently, day-to-day operations for the warehouse near Old Sacramento’s waterfront have been interrupted with an uptick of crime and violence.
