Finance Director - City of American Canyon, California

Located in the southern portion of world-famous, wine-growing Napa County, approximately 35 miles northeast of San Francisco, American Canyon first developed following World War II and incorporated in 1992. American Canyon plays an important role in the Napa Valley wine industry with continuous growth in wine logistics, wine making, storage and distribution. American Canyon is also home to growing major food production industries, such as Coca Cola, Barry Callebaut Chocolate, Mezzetta, and a new IKEA E-Commerce Distribution Center. With a current population of 20,500 in more than 6 square miles, the City plans for a population of 30,000 by 2030.

American Canyon has a mix of original and newer housing stock including single-family residential units, apartments, and manufactured homes. The City’s residential growth rate justified the 2010 construction of LEED- certified American Canyon High School, home of the “Wolves,” with its extensive athletic facilities. A new elementary school is under construction.

American Canyon is poised for future growth in two industrial parks and two specific plan areas. The parks include 5 million square feet of space for industrial users; a Broadway District Specific Plan to include 1,200 homes and 850,000 square feet of commercial development along Highway 29; and the Watson Ranch Specific Plan, which includes 1,250 homes and rejuvenation of century-old mine ruin structures into a tourist and entertainment center known as the Napa Valley Ruins and Gardens.

American Canyon residents take great pride in their community and highly value the outdoor spaces and trails, numerous parks, and quality schools. Residents and business owners feel very safe and enjoy their diverse and engaged community.
