New Yountville Town Manager Heather Abrams Begins Oct. 19
Heather Abrams, previously town manager in Fairfax, Marin County, held a public meet-and-greet on Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Yountville town council chamber ahead of her first day as Yountville town manager on Oct. 19. Abrams succeeds Brad Raulston, who resigned April 29 following criticism over the proposed Yountville Commons affordable and workforce housing project. Residents attending the event expressed hopes that Abrams would help navigate disagreements over the Commons property—site of the former Yountville Elementary School, closed in 2020—and balance tourism with local housing needs.
