Conversation on The Sacramento Press about: Sac State's Undeveloped HiveFaculty and families living a mile from the university was the vision. Now, that vision may be a dream of the past.
The structure fire at a former California Youth Authority facility, now owned by Sacramento State, occurred just days before the demolition of 21 buildings on the property is slated to begin.
The fire at the 25-acre site the university calls Ramona Village was reported shortly after midnight Tuesday, June 29 in a building that formerly served as the CYA center’s commissary.

I wouldn't go as far to say that the fire has been a setback to development; about two other fires have occurred on the site since 2008. The setback has been the economy which has just not allowed development to begin.
Still, you wonder why it took three fires to get demolition going, even if things were already in motion.Chris Shannon2010-07-01T01:09:31ZBy: Lindol FrenchLindol Frenchcomment-318792010-06-30T17:14:05Z2010-06-30T17:14:05ZCan you explain how a structure fire is a setback when the plan was to demolish the buildings anyway? Seems to me it's more of a head start than a hindrance.Lindol French2010-06-30T17:14:05Z
