How’s business doing in Arden Arcade and how can it be improved?

That’s what business and county officials ask Friday morning, June 8, during the Sacramento Metro Chamber Arden Arcade Business Council’s annual Arden Arcade Business Walk. This is the fourth year for the Business Walk. About 30 participants will visit up to 300 businesses in nine commercial corridors in Arden Arcade.

“Our annual walks have a real impact,” said Tim Cahill, of Charles C. Bell, Inc., chair of the business council. “We’re able to find the hot issues impacting business and because of the participation of County of Sacramento officials and the Fulton Avenue Association, improvements can be made quickly.”

Past Business Walks have addressed signage, traffic and policing needs, Cahill said. “This year, the Business Walk will focus on automotive related businesses while making visits to the variety of shops, stores and offices in the district.”
