Railroad Square developer gets $15 million boost | PressDemocrat.com | The Press Democrat | Santa Rosa, CA.

With the help of Santa Rosa officials, the developers of the ambitious housing and commercial project were awarded an $11.4 million state grant to be used primarily for street, water and sewer work.

The city agreed to kick in another $3.7 million of its share of anticipated federal stimulus money to help with infrastructure and environmental clean-up.

Developers hope to break ground on the first phase of the project — the retail portion, some housing and a parking garage — in about a year.
