California Infrastructure Investment to Result in Thousands of New Jobs
3,000 Jobs Will Be Created in Sacramento in 2009

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec 03, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The 
developer of the 244-acre Sacramento Railyards project announced today 
that approximately 3,000 new jobs will be created in 2009 as a direct 
result of voter passage of Proposition 1C, the $2.8 billion Housing and 
Infrastructure Bond and Proposition1B, the $19.9 billion Transportation 
Bond as well as other local and federal infrastructure funds.

The announcement comes as the Obama administration considers a federal 
economic recovery plan with a national infrastructure investment 
component and the Sacramento region copes with an unemployment rate of 
7.9% and one of the worst mortgage foreclosure rates in the nation.

To date, The Railyards has been the recipient of millions in Proposition 
1C and 1B bond awards to build bridges, roads, overpasses, bikepaths and 
underground utilities at the historic location which is the largest 
urban infill site in the country.
