SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The downtown Sacramento business community is reacting to the state’s plan to turn some of its office buildings near the Capitol into housing. Many businesses have been hurting since employees started working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Downtown Sacramento Partnership said there were about 100,000 people working in the area before the pandemic. Now, it estimates about half have returned. "Are we gonna get back to Monday through Friday, five days a week, 100,000 employees? Probably not," said Executive Director Michael Ault. Addressing the issue earlier this week, Mayor Darrell Steinberg joined state leaders to announce a new plan that they hope will help. The state is looking to see if developers can transform three office buildings on the Capitol Mall near 8th Street into housing: The Employment Development Department’s headquarters at 800 Capitol Mall, the EDD Solar Building at 751 North St. and the State Personnel Board Building at 801 Capitol Mall. "The more development opportunities, the better," Ault said in response to the idea.
