RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - On September 7, the City of Rancho Cordova dedicated the City Hall Atrium to Dan Skoglund, a Rancho Cordova City Councilmember who passed away in 2017.

“We miss our friend dearly. Dan was a kind and genuine individual. He had a strong passion for the Rancho Cordova community, and he played a vital role in our city’s future,” said Councilmember David Sander, PhD.
