Spotlight is a grass-roots, citizen-based effort to help facilitate the awareness of the St. Helena citizenry on the financial and civic issues facing our community, the options and choices in civic planning and possible community amenities that could be available on public lands.


It is the premise, that the community is best served when its educated citizenry is able to comprehend the scope of potential problems, make decisions based on facts and understand the trade-offs between potential solutions or no solutions.
