Berry Eberling in the NVR:
Dillon: Land use, a new jail top county agenda
New year will feature new debate on winery development


Berry Eberling is writing pieces faster than I can link to them and every one of them is connected to the development issues that we need to address if the ag preserve and the rural character of Napa County is to survive. All of his articles are here.

Peter Jensen covered the NVR County beat for 2 years prior to Mr. Eberling. All of his articles are here.

I attended the swearing-in ceremony of the BOS yesterday. Diane Dillon, in her acceptance speech, listed as one of her priorities during the four years of her new term, the issue of "land use", for which she received an ovation from the crowd attending the ceremony. Diane will be the next Chair of the BOS. The implications were clear: the proliferation of new wineries and the expansion of existing ones, needs to be dealt with in the framework of the "broader picture" for the Napa Vallley.
