Labor union nearly stalled major Sacramento construction project before reaching private deal

Construction on a massive Sacramento corporate center believed to be the West Coast headquarters of a Fortune 500 health care company will likely start in a few weeks after a construction workers’ union dropped its appeal of the project Monday.

LIUNA Local 185 had appealed the planning commission’s approval of the corporate center at East Commerce Way and Arena Boulevard in North Natomas, stating the environmental review of the project “does not fully address impacts on air quality, greenhouse gas, health risks, biological resources, and traffic,“ according to a city staff report.

But city officials, the project developer and the union reached an agreement over the weekend and the appeal was dropped Monday, according to Councilwoman Angelique Ashby, who represents North Natomas.
