Hi There!
Hi there, Redwood City! I can't believe it is already June. Summer is right around the corner and this is the month that we celebrate all of our Dads and Grads. Downtown Redwood City is a great place to help you celebrate and acknowledge these super people in your lives. Whether it is finding that unique gift for the recent graduate or a great place to take dad for brunch, you can find it in Downtown.

Thank you to all who took a moment of your time to fill out the Downtown Shopper's Survey last month. We had over 470 responses! This information will be useful in helping to bring new businesses to the Downtown area.

As always, if there is something you want to ask or need more information on, I would love to hear from you. I can be reached at [email protected] Until next month, have a great start to your summer!

-Catherine Ralston, Economic Development Manager

Project Safe and the Redwood City PD
Project SAFE was designed to serve as a model that brings together the appropriate services and organizations to work together to address social challenges and crime related issues at Sequoia Station. As a result of this program, the Police Department has helped local businesses at Sequoia Station to enjoy a more more comfortable working environment for their employees and patrons and increase business. The RCPD has won several awards for this program including the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Red Tape to Red Carpet Award. Thanks to our Redwood City Police Department for bringing the community together to keep our city safe!
