“The Tassaraja Land Grab” was a major point of discussion and clarification by Mayor H. Abram Wilson of San Ramon yesterday at the weekly Realtors Marketing Association in San Ramon, CA.

Mayor Wilson explained that San Ramon does not want to find itself in the position it was in when Dougherty Valley was developed and ran amok. “The City of San Ramon is not looking to develop the area and has no plans to,” said Mayor Wilson. “BUT, IF the area is developed, we want it to be planned growth that is consistent with the long term well being of the community as a whole in mind.” 

Other points that were made by Mayor Wilson:

• San Ramon’s yearly budget is $93.8 million
• San Ramon has a 50% reserve
• Safety in the Schools is his #1 priority
• 830 homes are planned for behind Home Depot

Mayor Wilson emphasized that San Ramon is proactive with crime prevention.
