A novel idea for housing displaced Marshall Hotel residents
Here's an interesting news release just in from UC Davis. A student team there has designed a solar- and wind-powered housing proposal for residents of downtown Sacramento's Marshall Hotel. It's set to become a boutique hotel, dislodging more than 100 single-room-occupancy residents.
The proposal, picked up Denver-based nonprofit developer Mercy Housing, would on a half-acre of city land on I Street, across from the Sacramento County Jail.
