Hey, neighbors. It's Saturday in Roseville and I'm back in your inbox with everything you need to know about what's happening in the community. Today we'll cover...

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and very warm. High: 93 Low: 58.

Here are the top stories in Roseville today:

1. Roseville City Council members have approved the new Economic Development Strategy for the city. The Economic Development Strategy is updated every five years. “This is just the guidebook and the strategy that’s going to fund the quality of life,” Councilmember Scott Alvord said about the plan. “I know this is going to be a guiding light in the whole county, actually, because I think we’re the furthest ahead on this kind of documentation.” (Gold Country Media)
2. Loomis is getting a Costco! Since 2018 the cities of Rocklin and Loomis have been working to find a path to putting a Costco on the border of the two municipalities. They finally came to an agreement on Thursday. The 155,000 square foot structure will be built at Sierra College Blvd. and Brace Road. Costco agreed to pay Rocklin $3.75 million to mitigate impacts along the roadway. Loomis is expected to reap $1 million in annual sales tax revenue from the business. (KTXL FOX 40 Sacramento)
3. Livability has named Roseville the 21st most livable city in the nation. In addition, “Roseville is ranked the number one place to raise a family in California,” said Roseville Councilmember Scott Alvord at Wednesday’s City Council meeting, because of “the amenities, the parks, the nice roads, the libraries and the excellent public safety” the city offers. A complete list of Roseville’s Best Place to Live achievements can be found at https://www.roseville.ca.us/cms/One.aspx?portalId=7964922&pageId=18085228. (Roseville Press Tribune)
4. If you're expecting to travel in Loomis in October, better check the roadways first. The town is expecting to do some resurfacing of roadways while the weather holds. Some stretches of road will be completely closed. The resurfacing will be done on various roadways throughout Loomis from Oct. 14 to Oct. 18. You can see the roadways impacted and the schedule here: (Gold Country Media)

• The Cowpoke Foundation is hosting the 28th annual Cowpoke Fall Gathering from Nov. 10 to Nov. 12 at the Blue Goose Event Center at 3550 Taylor Road, Loomis. The event "preserves and celebrates cowboy heritage in the U.S. through poetry, music and storytelling. Event proceeds go to area nonprofit organizations."
• Roseville Animal Control recently received inquiries regarding the keeping of chickens, so they clarified the rules. Roseville residents can keep up to ten —singly or in combination— ducks, chickens (includes hens and roosters), or pigeons on residentially zoned property within the city. Interested in learning more? This link from the City should help.
• Quarry Park’s Annual Harvest Festival Family Weekend is happening on October 16, 11 am - 3 pm. Entry is free! "Families are encouraged to pre-register if they plan to attend. Those who do register online will receive a treat bag upon arrival. In addition to all the free fall fun, Quarry Park Adventures’ adventure park will be open for regular operations during these hours." (Sacramento Magazine)
