The Elk Grove, CA Promenade Shopping Mall was approved by the City Council of Elk Grove on Wednesday night. The Promenade Mall, an open air mall is set to open October 2008 and provide within the first year of opening 2,500 new jobs for Elk Grove citizens along with a sales tax revenue expected of $4 million.Now, doesn't that make more sense than building yet more homes? It's time to bring some jobs into Elk Grove. This is a good start. Next is big business...higher paying jobs. If you want a City to prosper, in my opinion you need to focus on establishing new business partners along with controlled, responsible growth. There are plenty of cities to emulate that have done just that. Elk Groveis a new City as of July 2000 and has been growing leaps and bounds. Some may say, a litttle too... 07/15/2007
