The mayor, in listing off the successes of this past year, was quick to first point out that West Sacramento pulled off Sutter Health Park becoming the new temporary home of the formerly-Oakland Athletics as the club makes its eventual move to Las Vegas.
In less than a year's time, the city got the AAA-Minor League ballpark up to Major League Baseball standards, implemented a traffic safety plan and worked to invest in small businesses near the ballpark, helping them expand and prepare for an increase in foot traffic.
"We are demonstrating to Major League Baseball that we have what it takes, a small city, what it takes to highlight some of the success along the riverfront," Guerrero told CBS13.
Better roads, more police and bigger projects are the city's focus.
In collaboration with Sacramento, Guerrero says West Sacramento will be financially investing in the project and expect it to break ground in 2026.
As Sacramento faces a steep $44 million budget deficit, West Sacramento is seeing rare financial freedom.
Its passage has now given the green light to a more than $20 million investment back into city projects.
The mayor says Measure O has already helped West Sacramento's police force grow by 38 new officers and funded critically needed road repairs.
This, Guerrero says, one day could mean that West Sacramento has its own downtown scene.
West Capitol Ave. is home to the Grand Gateway Master Plan, which reimagines the corridor connecting Jefferson Blvd. down to the riverfront.
Next summer, the city also expects the Pierside Development along the waterfront to open, home to more than 200 new apartments and commercial space.
"I'm proud to share we are seeing remarkable momentum across all sectors. Industrial, residential, office, retail and mixed use," said Guerrero in her state of the city remarks.
