This section follows Davis city hall and the Yolo County board of supervisors, Davis Joint Unified School District and UC Davis alongside the agricultural research, biotechnology and government employers that define the local economy. From Central Davis and Downtown to North Davis, South Davis and West Davis, neighborhood reporting runs through the city and extends into Sacramento County, Solano County, Placer County and El Dorado County where a story crosses the line. UC Davis's standing as a leading agricultural and veterinary research university gives Davis an outsized role in state and federal science funding, and decisions about research programs, campus expansion and student housing regularly intersect with city government deliberations. Bicycle infrastructure, water supply from the Sacramento Valley and the management of agricultural land at the urban boundary are the planning subjects that return most consistently to Davis civic discussion.
