State Farm Insurance left Rohnert Park's 33-acre hub vacant in 2011, leaving a huge swath of the city center vacant, and contributing to the city's official 43 percent vacancy rate. Are you sad it's gone? What should go there?
What should replace the empty Pacific Market? Residents have been talking about getting Trader Joe's in here, but the grocery has said it's not interested, say city officials. What do you think should fill that space?
What other businesses should come here? Big box retailers dominate Rohnert Park's west side, and citizens have long complained that there's not enough independent businesses in town.
But members of the City Council say gems are here — places like Sonoma Mountain Business Cluster and Sonoma Mountain Village — and they're planting seeds for the future shape of the city.
What do you think the city needs?
