Mayor’s Summitt
The Danville Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual “Tri-Valley Mayors Summit” at the Crow Canyon Country Club on Tuesday, October 6th. I participated along with Danville Mayor Newell Arnerich, San Ramon Mayor Abram Wilson, Pleasanton Mayor Jennifer Hosterman, and Livermore Mayor Marshall Kamena.
As you can imagine, the dominant topic of conversation was the economy. I used the opportunity to tell attendees about the City’s economic incentive program to attract business, as well as the ways that we balanced our budget without cuts to programs or services. I also talked about how Dublin residents are very supportive of our efforts towards economic growth, and that despite the growth our City’s greatest strength always remains the sense of togetherness and community from the residents. A final question was posed to me by a high school student about the arts. I touted Dublin’s leadership on visual and cultural arts (i.e. public art, heritage center, etc.), while at the same time using this as an example of regional cooperation where all cities promote each others performing arts programs.
