Why it matters
The grants are part of a broader effort to mitigate catastrophic fires. The Land Trust of Napa County supports Measure B, which would create a stable, locally controlled fund of $23 million annually, with half of those funds dedicated to wildfire safety grants.
The Board of Supervisors is currently overseeing county operations and future planning for Napa County.
