Napa County CEO Ryan Alsop lays out 2025 accomplishments and 2026 priorities
Summary
Chief Executive Officer Ryan Alsop reviewed Napa County's 2025 accomplishments — from paving 27 miles of roads to launching mobile service units and partnerships — and outlined four strategic initiatives guiding policy and investments into 2026.
Ryan Alsop, chief executive officer for Napa County, opened a New Year message saying the county is entering 2026 “with a real sense of momentum” and set out four strategic initiatives to guide the next five years.
Alsop said the Board of Supervisors gave unanimous approval last fall to the strategic framework, which centers on building healthy, connected communities; championing environmental sustainability and resiliency; preserving the county’s agricultural legacy; and elevating county service and workforce excellence. “At the center of this work are the county's strategic initiatives,” he said.
On transportation, Alsop noted Public Works crews paved 27 miles of county roads in 2025 and said Measure U will allow the county to expand road work in 2026. He also described strengthened coordination with the city of Napa on unsheltered homelessness and the launch of two mobile service units: one providing safety‑net services and another serving probation clients.
Alsop highlighted program results and partnerships across county government: more than 1,500 building permits issued by Planning and Building and Environmental Services in 2025; coordination of over 10,000 volunteer hours for parks and trails; a library partnership enabling students to use school IDs as library cards; and awards from professional associations recognizing the county’s budget and financial reporting. He also noted the county’s 175th anniversary and the county’s start to 2025 with an all‑female Board of Supervisors.
Alsop closed by thanking county staff and the public for ongoing engagement and urged continued work to make the county more resilient and service‑oriented in 2026.
