Housing Approved
Congratulations to City of Dixon Community Development Director Raffi Boloyan and his staff for the City of Dixon’s 6^th cycle Housing Element (2023-2031) being certified by State Dept. of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on May 24, 2023.

On March 21, 2023, the Dixon City Council adopted the Housing Element. The adopted Element was then submitted to HCD for certification review. HCD had a few minor comments, which were addressed, and the element revised, and with those final edits, the HCD certified Dixon’s Housing Element.

The final Certified Dixon Housing Element, including Appendices and State Certification letter, can be viewed at www.cityofdixon.us/housingelementupdate under ‘Project Documents’ section. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Boloyan at [email protected].

Pool Construction
The locker room construction at the Pat Granucci Aquatic Center has hit a speed bump and the locker rooms will remain closed until the week of June 12, the City of Dixon reported. There was an unforeseen structural issue with the old flooring that had to be addressed before the new flooring could be installed. During this time, there will be a portable restroom available, and programs will run as scheduled, with the exception of recreational swim. They will announce the first day for recreational swim once an opening date has been set. They apologize for the inconvenience and hope to see you out at the pool this summer.
