Hello,
The City of American Canyon takes pride in partnering with our American Canyon nonprofits and community organizations. Without them, we would be unable to do many of the great programs, services, and community events we have today. We appreciate all of their hard work, dedication, and countless volunteer hours they give to help make American Canyon the best place to live, work and play. The City will host a Volunteer Appreciation Event this April to show our appreciation. During this event, one deserving volunteer within our community will receive the 2023 Gateway Award – and this is where we need your help! We are asking our residents to help by nominating deserving members of our community to be the recipient of this award. To view more details and nominate someone, please visit cityofamcan.org/gatewayawardnomination before April 9, 2023. I appreciate your help in choosing one deserving volunteer for the esteemed Gateway Award.
This week we also celebrated a significant milestone with the groundbreaking ceremony for the utility undergrounding portion of the Green Island Road Reconstruction & Widening Project (see photos below). This phase of the project, anticipated to be complete by the end of 2023, is the final step in preparing the complete road reconstruction planned for the construction phase in 2024. Sutter Home Winery graciously hosted this week's ceremony, which included guest speakers Mayor Leon Garcia, Congressman Mike Thompson, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Valerie Zizak-Morais, and PG&E Project Manager Donna Pontrello. The Napa Valley Register published a short video from the ceremony here. The City of American Canyon is especially proud of the collaborative partnerships with the U.S. Economic Development Administration, Green Island Industrial District business community, American Canyon Chamber of Commerce, Napa Valley Vine Trail, PG&E, Napa Valley Transportation Authority, Consor, St. Francis Electric, RC Electric, local, regional, and federal elected representatives, and city staff.

 Red Cross Month
This month, the City declared March as American Red Cross Month, and Pam Chappell with Red Cross Northern California Coastal Region received the Red Cross Month proclamation. 🏥
In American Canyon, the contributions of local Red Cross volunteers give hope to the most vulnerable in their darkest hours. Whether it’s providing emergency shelter, food and comfort for families devastated by local disasters like home fires or donating essential blood for accident and burn victims, their work to prevent and alleviate human suffering is vital to strengthening our community’s resilience. ❤️
We dedicate this month of March to all those who continue to advance the noble legacy of American Red Cross founder Clara Barton, who lived by her words, “You must never think of anything except the need, and how to meet it.”
Thank you to all who have volunteered! Red Cross volunteers are always in need, so if you’re interested, please visit redcross.org for more information. ⛑
