Techwire: The city of Sacramento will invest in local companies and start a grant program as part of a multimillion-dollar plan to bolster the community's innovation economy, Mayor Kevin Johnson said Saturday morning.
The city is going to invest $1 million in local companies this year, Johnson said. Selections will come from proposals submitted to a new mayoral tech council. The investments potentially could yield a profit for Sacramento that would be used to continually replenish the city's $10 million Innovation Growth Fund, the mayor explained.
