A new study recommends the city of Sacramento improve its entertainment economy by taking actions such as revamping its permit system, forming a rideshare hub in Midtown and creating guides for venue operators and event organizers.
The study results, which Nighttime Economy Manager Tina Lee-Vogt presented to the City Council on Tuesday, come three months after Sacramento released its Music Census. The census was the first-ever study on the local music economy and the report emphasized a need for more live music performance venues.
While the new Sociable City Assessment includes similar recommendations, Lee-Vogt said it takes a more holistic approach to the city’s social economy compared to the Music Census. The study focuses on Midtown and downtown, but Lee-Vogt said the findings are applicable city-wide
“We know there are opportunities throughout Sacramento where people can go to dine, play and socialize,” Lee-Vogt said.
