March 3, 2023 

Hello,

We spent the last two weeks reflecting on the exciting accomplishments of 2022 through numerous State of the City events—sharing how our American Canyon has grown, how we serve our residents and businesses, and how we collaborate with community partners to provide essential services and fun events. It was a pleasure connecting with this special community and celebrating our progress as a City. The Annual Report to our Community Booklet and video presentation is available at CityofAmericanCanyon.org/StateOfTheCity. I encourage you to visit the site and check it out. The City of American Canyon is happy to receive inquiries on any topic you have questions about all year round. Submit your questions or feedback to us here.

The Chamber of Commerce has invited our team, along with county and state representatives, to be a part of the State of the City Luncheon event on Tuesday, March 7, 2023. Tickets are available for this event at AmCanChamber.org.

Take care,

Jason B. Holley
City Manager

In late February, American Canyon learned it will be sued by the Napa Valley Unified School District. While American Canyon cannot comment on pending litigation, we want to ensure our students, parents, and residents have access to the facts in this situation. Integrity and transparency are among American Canyon's core values, and we remain committed to upholding those ideals throughout this process. 

We'd like to invite you to visit our website to learn more about the background of this issue at CityOfAmericanCanyon.org/NVUSDLawsuit. We will continue to provide updates as they become available in these newsletters and on the webpage.

Beware of the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter! 

The Glassy-winged Sharpshooter (GWSS) is a large leafhopper insect that can vector the deadly Pierce’s disease in grapevines. GWSS moves as egg masses on nursery stock from Southern California where the pest is widely established. Keep the Glassy-winged Sharpshooter away by buying native plants and inspecting for eggs. For more information, visit the Napa County Agricultural Commissioner's Office webpage.
