Hello,
It’s now officially February, which means that our annual State of the City Roadshow is kicking off shortly! State of the City is more than just an update — it’s a chance to come together, celebrate our community and look ahead to the future. Whether you want to explore what’s happening in town, meet your City leaders or just enjoy an evening out, we’ve got something for you!
By now, you may have received our State of the City publication in the mail — we wanted to keep bringing our updates straight to you. This annual publication is filled with updates on city projects, services and community highlights, all designed to keep you informed and engaged. Haven’t seen it yet? Check your mailbox or read it online!
To bring these updates to life, we’re also hosting our annual State of the City roadshow events, including a NEW, fun and family-friendly event at City Hall. Be sure to join us next week for these events:
-
City Hall “Meet the Council” Open House - Tuesday, Feb. 18, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
This community-wide open house is a chance to step inside City Hall, meet your new City Council, interact with City staff on key updates and explore engaging “Live,” “Work” and “Play” stations. Each station will feature an exciting video highlighting key initiatives in that area — be among the first to see them before the full State of the City video is released! Plus, enjoy free food, kids’ activities and a raffle!
-
Adult Activity Center Open House - Wednesday, Feb. 19, 11 a.m.
Designed with our active adult population in mind, this event offers a relaxed setting to watch the full-length State of the City video, which combines all three “Live, Work and Play” segments with remarks from Mayor Washington. Connect with Council Members and engage in meaningful conversations with city staff about issues that matter to you. All are welcome to attend!
Can’t make the upcoming open house events? We’ll release our full State of the City video, hosted by Mayor Washington, across our social platforms next Tuesday— be on the lookout!
Mark your calendar, invite a neighbor and join us as we celebrate everything that makes American Canyon a great place to live, work and play. See you next week!
Take care,
Jason B. Holley
City Manager

I hope you’ll join me and my fellow City Council members at the State of the City Open House events next week! These gatherings are all about conversation, connection and community — a chance for us to hear directly from you in a relaxed, interactive setting.
We always encourage American Canyon residents to stay engaged by attending City Council meetings, but our annual State of the City events offer something special — a hands-on way to see what’s happening around town and share your thoughts with us.
Whether you stop by the City Hall “Meet the Council” Open House or the Adult Activity Center Open House, the Council and I will be there, ready to listen and talk about what matters most to you.
I look forward to seeing you there!

After facing tremendous challenges, Melody found a home at the Club — a place to grow, thrive and lead.
