My family has lived in Fairfield for three generations, and yet there’s a real possibility that I will never be able to buy a home here. I love the vision of a walkable, sustainable community powered by renewable energy with homes for all ages and income levels.

This initiative embodies strength and resilience in community-building. I’m inspired by the commitments to build on our state’s vibrance and diversity.

Frank Wags Vallejo, CA

I’m excited about having a new community that we can build from scratch with modern amenities.

Mo Mqatash Fairfield, CA Pharmacist

As a mother to four kids, I often fear they will grow up and move far away. Knowing there is a new community with more jobs, affordable housing, and small business opportunities is exciting.

Kimberly Palang Vacaville, CA Nurse
Thank you for having this program and building new affordable homes for 1st time buyers.

What an exciting event to look forward to. This gives me inspiration and motivation to strive to continue living and have quality of life as long as I’m able to and God willing – to let me live 20-30 more years and see these efforts come into reality so I can join the fun. Amidst public skepticism, I’m in.

Embracing California Forever is not just a commitment to our present, but a legacy for our future. By fostering sustainable growth, this initiative ensures a vibrant community where our children and grandchildren can thrive, securing a prosperous home for generations to come within the heart of our county.

California Forever aims to create a place where the quality of life is second to none. It will have a positive, long-lasting impact for the communities of Solano county and beyond.

Sergio Pineda Dixon, CA

I want to help support future generations to achieve the American Dream. Too many Californians are currently giving up hope and leaving our state for a variety of reasons. The proposed city in Solano might help them find reasons to not only stay in CA but also become involved in the overall development plus find their future new home. It appears almost everyone in Solano will benefit from this development and then have a new community to be proud of forever.

John Kitchen Benicia, CA

I’m a disabled veteran living in Solano and have been looking for a place ever since my divorce. I’m a father to five boys and one girl, they’re all grown and gone, but I know my boys will help me in a time of need. I’d love continue being in Solano given I’ve been here for 17 years going back-and-forth from Travis Air Force Base David Grant Hospital. I am a faithful member of the Bay North Church of Christ, and I thank God for bringing us California Forever!

I’m looking forward to a community where I can live & have fun at the same time. We have to travel so far to reach any kind of entertainment or atmosphere – it’s really hard right now.

Emmanuel D. Fairfield, CA Business Owner

I am truly enthusiastic about the project! It’s exciting to see initiatives that not only promise economic benefits but also prioritize innovation and community transformation. By embracing forward-thinking and creative approaches to urban development, projects like this have the potential to shape the future of our cities in profound ways. I think Solano County deserves a boost that will bring in new fresh opportunities for people and the community.

This initiative is doing something remarkable. Yes, it takes us out of our comfort zone, and doing so sets us on a path of extraordinary growth, infusing rigorously pure magic of great innovation and creativity to elevate the quality of lives in our community.

Deana Morad Fairfield, CA

With well-paid local jobs

By bringing new employers to Solano County, in industries like advanced manufacturing, defense, and agricultural technologies, we make sure that many Solano residents can have a shorter commute.

That’s walkable

Our goal is to create a walkable city: a place where children can walk to school alone, seniors aren’t isolated by car-dependent living, and every neighborhood is anchored by local shops and restaurants.

Where all are welcome

Creating an inclusive city that integrates all types of homes from starter homes on up, for sale and for rent, in the same neighborhoods. A place that ensures working families can stay in California.

With highest sustainability standards

Our modern infrastructure can be built with world-class sustainability. Imagine a city that can fully recycle water, recharge our aquifer, reduce vehicle miles traveled, ensure fire-resistant building, and support climate resilient living.

California Forever CEO Explains Plans to Build a New Community | Pivot

In the media

We believe California’s best days lie ahead.

California Forever was founded to bring back the California Dream – a chance for families to own their own home and build a future for themselves and their children. Unfortunately, when we surveyed Solano parents, 81% said their kids won’t be able to find a future in their own neighborhood when they grow up. Solano is falling behind.

Instead of watching our kids leave, we have the opportunity to build a better future with jobs, homes, and new energy sources to make sure that younger generations have the same opportunities as those who grew up during California’s decades of growth and optimism.

FAQ

Welcome! Here you’ll find answers to common questions about the project.

See all

  • What kind of a city are you building? Is this some kind of tech utopia?

    We are trying to build a place that says “yes” to things – a place to build the things that Solano County and California need. New industries that bring good paying jobs. New energy infrastructure to support the region. And walkable neighborhoods for Travis AFB airmen and their families, young families, people who work in the city, and the next generation of Solano residents. In the new city, we expect to build all of the uses one would find in a medium-size city like Fairfield, Vacaville, or Vallejo: homes of different types, offices, commercial and industrial uses, restaurants, small businesses, hospitals, schools, cultural venues, parks, and more. The community will be surrounded by parks, open spaces, and greenbelts.

    The zoning map for the new community.

  • What does this mean for Travis Air Force Base? How close will you be to Travis Air Force Base?

    The project will make Travis AFB stronger, by bringing in new advanced manufacturing, defense, and aerospace employers to Solano County, by building homes that airmen can afford, and by creating new job opportunities for military spouses.

    We have worked hard to adjust the project to support Travis’ vital mission, and on February 15th, Travis AFB issued this statement which reads: “California Forever made significant changes to its plans in order to protect Travis’ global mission and local flight operations. With this revised proposal, Travis AFB will be able to continue flying its full mission, including all of our operational, exercise, and local training flights consisting of multiple patterns and landings to all runways, including night vision goggle training to the assault landing zone (ALZ) runway.”

    The statement then adds: “Travis AFB recognizes California Forever’s efforts to minimize impacts to operations and mission capabilities, as well as their project’s potential to improve the wellbeing of our Airmen and families into the future.”

    The new city will not impact the mission at Travis Air Force Base because it will be much farther from Travis AFB than Fairfield or Suisun City. They’re about a mile away, while the new city will be at least 4 miles away. The new city is entirely outside official Travis AFB noise and crash zones.

    We are committed to working closely with the Air Force to make certain that we protect and support the base.

  • How will this new city affect agriculture in Solano County?

    We intentionally located the new city on non-prime farmlands. The entire 17,500 acres that the new city would be located on contribute less than 2% of the total agricultural revenue of Solano County, based on information provided by Solano County in the official Livestock and Crop Reports from 2020-2022.

    See this Blue Sky Consulting Group report for details and calculations, which indicate that the entire 17,500 acres contribute roughly $6 million of the total $385 million of Solano County’s agricultural revenue – i.e., approximately 1.6% of the total.

    We are planning on building greenhouses and vertical farms in the Industry & Technology zone which utilize the latest, most water-efficient farming techniques to make more food with less resources. A single large greenhouse or vertical farm can produce between $10 million and $40 million in annual agricultural revenue.

    We therefore believe that the new city will increase, not decrease, Solano’s agricultural production.
