Historical Photo Restoration Project
In the 1930’s, Alamo was a sleepy agricultural village, there was no freeway, no Army Corps of Engineers altering the creek, and there were no stop lights.
Albert Davies was a professional photographer who moved to Alamo in 1933 from Berkeley. He was the proprietor of “The Davies Press” and was very active in Alamo civic affairs including trusteeship of the local grammar school. Mr. Davies spent his time here photographing the landscapes of the San Ramon Valley, the people, culture, businesses and agriculture.
These photographic images represent a window into the pre-war life of Contra Costa County and were believed by the Contra Costa County Historical Society (CCCHS) to have been forever lost when Mr. Davies left Alamo and moved to the Sierra Nevada. CCCHS now seeks to preserve and protect these historical images by digitizing and scanning them.
Once added to the searchable database maintained by Contra Costa County Historical Society, the public will have a chance to see many of these preserved historical photos

County Housing Element & General Plan Updates
Update - April - 2026
​
The purpose of the Contra Costa County General Plan is to express the broad goals and policies, and specific implementation measures, which will guide decisions on future growth, development, and the conservation of resources within the county through the year 2045.
​
​
​
The Contra Costa County 2023-2031 Housing Element was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 12, 2023 and was certified by California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on January 22, 2024.
The Housing Element is one of the required Elements of the General Plan. It identifies policy direction to meet the housing needs of the county, both by preserving existing homes and by clarifying priorities for housing creation. The Element includes an overview of housing policies and programs and identifies locations that can accommodate future housing. Due to State-required adoption deadlines, the Housing Element was prepared on a separate track as Envision Contra Costa 2040.
