largest Auto Malls in the country, which contributes significantly to
sales tax receipts at the city and county level. Revenues from sales
tax has been a main reason why the City of Roseville has been able to
keep up the city's infrastructure as the population has dramatically
increased. This environment has produced a mix of housing, small and
large employers, as well as shopping opportunities.
Revitalization
Beginning in the year 1988 the city embarked on a plan for redeveloping the downtown core comprising about 207 acres (0.8 km2) of land.Over the past years and into the future, the city is spending tens of
millions of dollars on revitalizing its historic areas. The areas have
been in decline for a long time. The city has already completed its
Vernon Streetscape Project and is now working on its Historic District
and Riverside Corridor Streetscape Projects. Also, the city has teamed
up with Kobra Properties to develop a parking garage/office
building/art gallery. It will house the new Roseville Arts! Blueline
Gallery and will also provide the needed parking along with the new
office workers. Grand opening of parking garage was in November 2007
and Blueline Gallery in February 2008.
