Benicia CA-Proud to be a California Main Street City!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Solano Pacific BRE #01474067

Benicia CA is proud to be a California Main Street City.  What does that mean? This is from Calfornia Main Street "In 1986, California joined a growing national movement to improve the quality of life in America's towns, cities and neighborhoods by reinvigorating the economic health of their historic Main Street central business districts. Developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation more than 25 years ago and administered by the non-profit National Main Street Center of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Main Street Program has utilized a public-private partnership of private investment, local government support, and local non-profit assistance to revitalize historic commercial districts.  The locally-driven, grass roots, self-help "Main Street Approach" focuses on four points: organization, promotion, design, and economic restructuring."

Benicia is a vibrant city located on the Carquinez Straits, the water gateway to Central California.  Its rich history includes being the first Capitol of California, a stopping off point for gold seekers getting to the hills above Sacramento, a city full of artists working in all mediums, and a city I believe to be the "best place to live, grow up and grow old." 

The Benicia Main Street Program can found at the end of First Street located in the old Train Depot.  This location has stunning views of the water and hills in Contra Costa County.  I love to visit the office as it has gifts, brochures, and lists of activities that take place every year in our lovely city.  It is my one stop shop for See's Candy and holiday gifts for clients, family, and friends.  You can buy local gift certificates that can be used for shopping in Benicia.  What a great gift idea for those hard to buy for!
