Navigating the Future
Welcome to Riverbank, California, the future is being paved with two ambitious projects: the leisurely River Walk and the bustling North County Corridor (NCC). These aren’t just paths but pathways to potential prosperity or perhaps, to some, a perilous route away from tradition. In the picturesque setting of Stanislaus County, the Riverbank’s River Walk project and the North County Corridor (NCC) represent two significant developments that promise to reshape the region’s landscape, economy, and community life.
Where Nature Meets Neighborhood
The River Walk Project: Envisioned as a vibrant addition to Riverbank, the River Walk aims to transform approximately 997 acres into a mixed-use development featuring residential areas, commercial spaces, and extensive public amenities. This project not only seeks to expand the city’s sphere of influence by annexing land but also aims to create a community-centric space with pedestrian and bike paths, thereby enhancing the quality of life for residents. However, this development comes with a significant shift from agricultural conservation to urban use, directly conflicting with LAFCO’s (Local Agency Formation Comission) policies aimed at preserving prime farmland.
