What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Napa Valley Community Foundation took control of the Calistoga Tribune's assets through a foreclosure agreement after Highway 29 Media could not pay its debts. The foundation plans to transfer these assets to a new nonprofit group being formed by Calistoga residents. This action settled a $132,000 loan the foundation had made to help Highway 29 purchase the Tribune.
