The Ramona building, a 78-year-old former hotel at Sixth and J streets,
will be converted into Sacramento headquarters for the Church of
Scientology.
Two years after it paid $4.75 million for the downtown Ramona building,
the Church of Scientology is about to gain full control of the property.

Neighbors upset over Goodwill's intent

Goodwill spokeswoman Michael Ann Harvey said Wednesday that the
purchase is still "uncertain." The nonprofit won't know whether it will
buy the property until next month.
Goodwill has not received all building inspection reports from its due
diligence, she said. And some completed reports show potential problems
with the condition of the buildings.
The 3-acre site, assessed at $3.06-million for tax purposes, is listed
for sale at $6-million. The proposed purchase price has not been
disclosed.
