The Sacramento City Council tonight unanimously approved the RAILS grants to support and catalyze innovation and entrepreneurship in Sacramento. Congratulations to all grantees and big round of applause for Mayor Kevin Johnson’s vision and iniative, the City of Sacramento, the City Council, the Mayor’s Office for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and everyone else who made this happen. Great things coming in the Sacramento startup and innovation community. More details to come (read Rich Foreman’s summary), but here are a few quick tweets to capture this epic moment.
