As the sole public agency representing every regional jurisdiction, Sacramento Area Council of Governments fosters collaboration and progress for an equitable, sustainable and prosperous future.

SACRAMENTO REGION (MPG) - The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) announced that the draft 2025 Blueprint and Environmental Impact Report (EIR), the region's long-range transportation and land use plan, has been released for public review and comment.

The drafts are now available for public review and comments will be taken until Aug. 8. View the Draft 2025 Blueprint and Environmental Impact Report at sacog.org under the “Planning” tab.

By the year 2050, it is expected the region will add 580,000 new residents, 278,000 new homes and 263,000 new jobs, while investing more than $40 billion in multi-modal transportation improvements.

The 2025 Blueprint lays out a plan for how the region’s six counties and 22 cities will work together to create a vibrant, inclusive and resilient region that meets the needs of current and future residents while preserving the environment for future generations.

“We have to work together to build a region that works for both our existing and future residents,” said Darren Suen, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments Board of Directors chair and a City of Elk Grove councilmember. “The 2025 Blueprint is our playbook for how cities and counties will collaborate and ultimately helps setup the region for success to attract more grants and investments.”

Community members are invited to review the draft plan and provide their feedback by Aug. 8. To view the draft plan and Environmental Impact Report, visit Sacramento Area Council of Governments’ website at www.sacog.org/planning/blueprint.
