Hello!
We have exciting news on the
Watson Ranch/Napa Valley Ruins & Gardens Project! The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of it last week and the City Council will begin considering it
next Tuesday. As many of the old-timers remember, the City has been trying to create a “Town Center” at the Ruins since Incorporation (1992) and the pieces are now finally coming together to make it happen. The Project includes a new neighborhood, roads, infrastructure, parks, a community center site & a new school! It is important for the Council to hear resident’s perspectives on this Project, so please join us at 6:30 PM on Tuesday at City Hall.
Approximately 11,000 residents will receive their November 6th Election Ballot this weekend. On it, American Canyon voters have
five choices for the City Council and two choices for Napa Valley College Board. These positions routinely make necessary decisions on behalf of American Canyon residents, and it’s critical that you make an informed choice. You also have two opportunities to decide whether to increase the hotel taxes paid by Napa Valley tourists (
City Measure “H” and
County Measure “I”). , and if approved, these new funds will be dedicated for workforce housing. Voting has never been simpler - mail your signed ballot back or drop it off at City Hall. If you haven’t registered yet,
you have until October 22nd – so don’t delay!
