The Benicia Finance Director and City Manager have informed us that all is well after considering a $490,000 cut, no more cuts are planned. The city does have plans in place if such cuts are necessary but overall things look good. One reason that Benicia does fairly well is that the city does not reply on big shopping mails for its revenue. Benicia has 2 shopping centers. Downtown shopping, the key tenant is Safeway with 2 banks, West America and Bank of America and a Chevrom gas station. the second shopping area has key tenants of Raleys, Burger King and Pedrotti ACE Hardware. The area has Wells Fargo, located in Raleys, US Bank and WaMu. It also contains several restaurants. Just enough for a small community. One of Benicia revenue sources is also Benicia Industrial Park, located east of the city on Highway 680.
Benicia has a great Fire Department and Police Department, lovely library with children story reading. Benicia has many family activities and civic events. Great place to live and raise your family.
