Stronger Solano, for generations to come


Support from local community

I think this is the perfect location to build homes.

Angelica Padilla Vacaville, CA Judicial Assistant

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

California Forever offers opportunities for all ages, blending middle-class housing, diverse job prospects, and sustainable living. It’s a vision where every generation finds purpose, security, and a brighter future.

Cristal Gibson Dixon, CA

I think that California Forever is a great idea. It will bring more local people to purchase goods and services which should be a good thing.

Robert Irvin Hatch Rio Vista, CA

Having grown up in Rio Vista, I have always loved the area and community. I left for better education and employment opportunities, but would love to one day move back. I have long felt that Solano County needs significant investment and I think California Forever can provide that. I would love to one day open my own studio practice where I can support local artists and teach art to the community, and the new town through California Forever seems like a great opportunity for this.

Nick Stiles Rio Vista, CA Muralist

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.

As a member of this community, I look forward to the future of the California Forever project and look forward to working together to make Solano County better.

Ernie Houston Fairfield, CA

My mother and I are homeowners in Rio Vista at the Trilogy community. Me and my mother support the California Forever project. It will be nice to see an improved Solano County that will benefit everyone in the community—let’s do it together!

Yvonne Rideaux Rio Vista, CA

I am so excited about the California Forever project. I’m excited to watch Solano County lead the way in new housing options, a new view of what a hometown can look like…inclusivity for a vast range of income levels and housing needs. I see the California Forever project providing a healthier more sustainable way of life! I am so excited to see this project grow – literally from the ground up!

Melanie Hallam Fairfield, CA Realtor

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.

I believe in growth, and therefore acknowledge the economic benefits and new businesses California Forever aims to bring to Solano.

Enrique Quiles Fairfield, CA

I am excited about the California Forever initiative. I envision a sustainable development that will not ignore the quality of life or the environment of the region. We need to be engaged with the project’s development, knowing what is being done, asking questions, and addressing our concerns. With our concerns duly taken care of, we will be ready to receive the development coming our way.

Rosileia Corker Vallejo, CA Classical Piano Teacher

I support the project because it will be great for Solano County families, providing opportunities for growth and generational wealth.

A brand new city…

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.


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.

I support California Forever

I believe in Solano County and California that build again. Let’s build new industries, affordable homes, and clean energy for this generation and generations to come.
