Smart Growth

We need to grow our tax base by encouraging smart, efficient development, including additional housing for a wide range of household types, and businesses that meet our local needs for employment, services, and revenue. In light of Valero's intent to cease operations in Benicia, we need to strategically increase utilization of our Industrial Park by attracting compatible businesses that create jobs, diversify revenue, and make productive use of existing infrastructure.
