DIXON, CA (MPG) - Ross Hillesheim and Phil Tagami from California Capital & Investment Group located in Oakland will be welcomed to the Dixon Women’s Improvement Club at their Wednesday, Feb. 16, meeting to share their vision for the development of two Dixon properties, both bordering I-80 (Interstate Highway), that they purchased in the past year. We are looking forward to an interesting presentation regarding what the future holds for Dixon residents.

In addition, Police Chief Robert Thompson will speak to the DWIC members from the Dixon Police Station via Zoom regarding community policing, citizen assistance and reporting crime, along with sharing plans for restarting the Dixon Police Cadet program. Chief Thompson joined Dixon Police Department in 2017, coming from a 15-year-long career with the Federal Bureau of Investigations in Sacramento.
