STAR EDITORIAL BOARD âNo more lip service and NIMBYism. Itâs time for St. Helena to get serious about workforce housing.â Those are the opening lines of an editorial we published in February 2019. The fact that weâre recycling it today is a sad reminder of how little progress the city government has made on its most urgent long-term issue. We met last week with representatives of two nonprofits that have made some progress: Our Town St. Helena and Napa Valley Community Housing. Our Town is working on an 8-unit project on McCorkle and a 5-unit project on Pope, and theyâre in escrow to buy some existing housing nearby.
