City Council approves land sale for future jobs site

A large regional jobs center is one step closer to reality following Roseville City Council approval for the sale of 6382 Phillip Road to Panattoni Development Company on Wednesday, March 3. The future Roseville Industrial Park would allow the city to compete nationally in attracting employers to the area. 

“This site provides an ideal opportunity to drive significant job growth and economic activity,” said City of Roseville Economic Development Director Laura Matteoli. “Roseville has a reputation for offering a combination of lifestyle, educated talent pool and business value, which is attractive for prospective companies.”  

The approximately 236-acre greenfield parcel, with 191 developable acres, is located north of a planned six-lane western extension of Blue Oaks Boulevard. The planned six-lane regional Placer Parkway, connecting Highway 65 and 99, bisects the northern part of the property.
