Danville Mayor, Candace Andersen, addressed the Realtors Marketing Association today at the San Ramon Community Center. The weekly RMA meeting is a venue for real estate agents and other professionals that work in Alamo, Danville and San Ramon CA.

Mayor Andersen reassured the crowd that Danville’s economic outlook remains good. The township runs a balanced budget and keeps enough in reserves to handle most economic downturns.

Education is a concern. The state’s proposed budget cuts in education are going to have a significant impact on Danville, Alamo and San Ramon schools.

Danville has been on the maps 150 years. Here are a few additions coming soon to Danville:

• Fresh and Easy at the old Albertson’s location on Diablo Road.
• Chow’s Restaurant
• Danville Hotel renovation is about to begin
• Elworthy – a new development of 84 single family homes and 12 apartments on 12 of 459 acres.
• Diablo Vista and Sycamore Valley Parks are being upgraded
• New small downtown park
• Studying a Danville Police Department

Mayor Andersen apologized in advance for any traffic citations the local real estate agents might receive, but noted their is a direct relationship between the number of citations issued and a drop in the number of traffic accidents.

In talking about crime figures, it was noted that the highest statistic is for auto burglary.
