We understand rumors are circulating regarding the future of the recently vacated Rite Aid building on Twin Cities Rd. and Carillion Blvd. We want to take this opportunity to set the record straight and provide you with accurate information about this property.

As most are aware, Rite Aid recently vacated its location in Galt after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. However, due to ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, the property owner is prohibited from advertising the building for lease.

City staff has been actively involved in discussions with the property owner and broker to explore potential future uses for the space. We have been working diligently in an effort to ensure that the property is utilized in a manner that benefits our community and enhances the vibrancy of our city. With that being said, it is important to note that as a privately owned property – the City does not have the ultimate say in what business is located in the space, as long as it is an allowed use in accordance with the Commercial Zoning designation in the Galt Municipal Code. 

Our goal is to attract businesses that will contribute positively to our community and meet the needs of our residents. We kindly ask for your patience as we navigate through this process.

Beginning February 23, 2024, Twin Cities Road between Bruceville Road and Franklin Boulevard will be closed to through traffic. Temporary detours will be in place, please plan for additional travel time or consider using alternative routes. Work on this section is scheduled to be completed in mid-March.

ABOUT THE PROJECT:
When complete, Harvest Water will deliver up to 50,000 acre-feet, roughly 16 billion gallons, of drought-resistant recycled water each year to agricultural lands and existing habitats in southern Sacramento County,
bringing lasting benefits to the region.
