GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

The world is taking notice that Roseville is a highly sought-after location for innovative companies expanding their operations. We recently received global attention with the announcement that Bosch plans to acquire Roseville chipmaker TSI Semiconductors and grow its business.

Over the next few years, Bosch intends to invest more than $1.5 billion in the Roseville site and convert it into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Chip production is anticipated to start in 2026. The international boom of electromobility is generating significant demand for these semiconductors.

As mayor, I’m proud to see our recognition as a community of choice for investment. We work hard to create a city that fuels business growth, attracts a skilled and educated workforce, maintains a vibrant quality of life, and offers some of the nation’s most reliable and low-cost municipal utilities. I often hear from businesses that these qualities are critical when deciding where to locate and expand.

Roseville Soccer Complex breaks ground

A 51-acre soccer complex recently broke ground at 2600 Westbrook Blvd. We’ll see the new facility draw regional and national sports tourism, boosting local economic activity and hotel stays. Plans for the complex include 10 lighted, artificial turf fields for soccer, football, rugby, field hockey and lacrosse, ample parking, a universally accessible playground, picnic areas, restrooms, and concessions. We’re scheduled to complete construction by early 2025.
