City leaders had big plans when they celebrated the purchase of the 102-acre vacant field in South Sacramento's Meadowview neighborhood back in 2022. The city paid more than $12 million for land that was once a highway patrol test track just south of Meadowview Road.
The property hasn't been used since the 1970s, and now the city says it can't afford to do anything with it.
Original plans called for creating a homeless safe ground. Other ideas included building a youth sports complex or a new cemetery.
"We don't want this parcel to remain vacant another 20 years," said Karina Talamantes, a Sacramento city councilmember.
Under state law, it must first be considered for affordable housing.
The city will now solicit and review private development proposals and any project will still need to be approved by councilmembers.
Some South Sacramento community members say they want something that will bring benefits to the disadvantaged neighborhood.
The city will also consider using a small portion of the property to build a new animal shelter. The current facility on Front Street has no room to expand and is often overcrowded.
