Developing infill sites can be challenging for a variety of reasons including the lack of infrastructure and irregularly shaped lots. The County has created a special program to assist communities, property owners and developers with these challenges to achieve quality infill projects. 

The County Infill Program focuses on key commercial, residential and mixed-use projects within the County’s aging commercial

corridors and other sites that provide opportunities.

The County is Creating Incentives for Infill:

• County-initiated infrastructure studies in three Pilot Corridor areas (provides better information upfront, saving time and money)
• Corridor Plans, with an environmental document, that will change land uses making properties more “development ready”
• County-led infrastructure projects to get key-areas more “shovel ready” such as Freedom Park Drive at Watt Avenue
• Treatment Capacity Bank (Sewer Fee Credits) – economic dev. Link
• Developer Assistance Programs  -  Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency

SHRA (Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency) has created a team to administer the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) on behalf of the City and County of Sacramento. The NSP will help return housing left vacant and abandoned from foreclosure back into occupancy in targeted areas.

If you receive calls asking for information about the programs we will offer under the NSP, please direct them to our website at www.shra.org. Click on Foreclosure Information and select Neighborhood Stabilization Program for complete details.

A series of workshops has been scheduled in March to provide information about the NSP Vacant Properties Program. A link to the workshop flyer is also on the website or you can download a copy to have available for inquiries.
