Couples have moved up to Elk Grove over the last 20-plus years in the hope of placing their families in safer neighborhoods. Parents love our school district and our family-based communities. Unfortunately, our little haven has witnessed massive population growth, and with it has come industry. Business drives the economy, and it also brings with it traffic and congestion.
