Economy

The city of Roseville has a variety of businesses located in it. It has encouraged the addition of large retail centers, including one of the largest Auto Malls in the country, which contributes significantly to sales tax receipts at the city and county level. Revenue from sales tax has been a main reason why the City of Roseville has been able to keep up the city's infrastructure as the population has dramatically increased. This environment has produced a mix of housing, small and large employers, as well as shopping opportunities. A popular water park, Roseville Golfland SunSplash, is also located in Roseville.

Shopping

The Westfield Galleria mall

Shopping plays a vital role in the economy of Roseville, which has the eleventh highest retail sales of all California cities as of 2008.[10] Roseville is also the smallest of the fifteen top ranked cities in retail sales; before the economic slowdown, they were ranked number 9.[citation needed] Once the auto industry and economy recovers, combined with new retail, Roseville is expected to climb back into the top 10 with over $4 billion in retail sales annually.[citation needed] Roseville is considered a regional shopping destination, with the Westfield Galleria at Roseville being the main shopping center in the city. Westfield embarked on a $270 million project, because of the revenue they acquire from this high end mall.487,806-square-foot (45,319 m2) expansion.[11] mall.

Across the street from the Galleria, Peter Bollinger Investment Company built an $70 million complex named "Fountains at Roseville".[12] Fountains at Roseville is a 330,000 sq ft (31,000 m2) retail center that is unique in that it includes several recreation centers. The first phase opened to the public on June 30, 2008.[13] Plans call for future construction of hotel, additional retail, and office buildings as well.

In addition to the Galleria and Fountains at Roseville, Roseville has many shopping plazas surrounding the Galleria and the Douglas Boulevard financial corridor.

Notable events

On April 28, 1973, 18 boxcars loaded with bombs en route to the Concord Naval Weapons Station began detonating in the Southern Pacific Railroad yard after one of the cars caught fire. More than 6000 bombs detonated, injuring more than 350 people. The explosions caused damage to 5500 buildings up to 6,800 feet (2,070 m) away. The cause of the initial car fire has never been determined. [2] In the late 1990s, development in the area by the Union Pacific Railroad uncovered more unexploded ordnance, which were eventually removed.[20]

On October 21, 2010, a young man entered the GameStop store inside Westfield Galleria at Roseville "speaking incoherently" and claiming to have a handgun. The man ordered the employees and customers to vacate the store and proceeded to set fire to the merchandise in the store room. As police and fire crews converged on the scene, the suspect barricaded himself outside the store and began setting other fires. After breaching the barricade, several police officers led the suspect out in handcuffs shortly after 1:00 PM. The mall was evacuated, along with police and fire crews, during the incident due to concerns of a possible incendiary or explosive device in a backpack left behind by the suspect. Due to the wait for the bomb squad, the fire spread and consumed large areas of the ceiling duct work and roof.[21] The suspect, identified as Alexander Piggee, had also set a fire in a local Walmart garden department earlier in the day. He was sentenced to 180 months in prison followed by 72 months surveillance on August 2, 2011 after a guilty plea.[22] The affected wing of Westfield Galleria at Roseville was closed until October 6, 2011 while repairs were made to approximately 40 stores and expansions built.[23]

In CNN Money's "Best Places to Live" study in 2008, Roseville was ranked 90th in the Top 100, "America's best small cities in the country".
