A healthy economy is an essential component in achieving a high quality of life.

The City of Napa Economic Development Division is committed to business attraction, retention, and expansion to further the City's long-term emphasis on providing needed goods and services that improve the quality of life for our residents.  These activities help establish strong relationships with our valued local companies and allow the City to be more responsive to business needs. Economic Development is one of the tools the City of Napa seeks to use to aid the transition of the community. Providing more of the goods and services Napans want means keeping more dollars inside the community. And quality of life is directly tied to economic development - more City revenue means more money for public safety, streets and roads, parks and amenities  - to make our good life even better.
