Letters

"I can't tell you how many times during my 17-year career in this business I have heard developers say how interested they were in the community, and how their product would add to the community. In some cases, things work out where that actually happens, but not as often as we'd like to see.

"I have been in Benicia for 4 years, and during those 4 years you have built Vintage III, and the Rose Drive Medical Arts Center. I can say wthout any hesitation that both of these projects add to the beauty and charm of Benicia and, in fact, enhance it. You and your achitecht are to be commended for your careful and meticulous approach to development and, most importantly, assuring that the end product fits in with the community.

"Thank you for being a part of Benicia."

Michael Warren, Benicia City Manager
