Serving as a teacher in the Solano County area, one realizes the impact a teacher can bring to a future adult life. California Forever offers great hope for ALL our futures.
I am a small business owner with several locations throughout Solano county. For the last few years, my wife, children, and I have had to say goodbye to many of our friends that moved. Many of them couldn’t not afford to live here or find good jobs. California Forever has brought some hope that the issues we face in California can be solved. I do believe this is what we need!
This project has good positive potential for the future of Solano and California dreaming.

California Forever not only fuels sustainable progress but also sparks the dreams of new entrepreneurs. Through accessible small business loans, it cultivates a fertile ground for innovation, ensuring a vibrant economic landscape that empowers the next generation of visionaries to flourish and contribute to the prosperity of our community.
Establishing well-paying job opportunities in close proximity to our community will not only benefit local residents but also have a positive ripple effect on neighboring businesses. Individuals from the new community will be inclined to spend their money in our local establishments, fueling economic growth and vitality in our area for the long term.
I believe in growth, and therefore acknowledge the economic benefits and new businesses California Forever aims to bring to Solano.

California Forever encompasses the progress our county deserves.

I support California Forever on its mission to create a new city in Solano County. I look forward to the many conveniences it will bring to our community; closer shopping, hospitals, improved infrastructure, as well as keeping open spaces and farmland.
More jobs, more opportunities, and less commute! California needs this community.

Supporting California Forever is an investment in our community’s future prosperity. By championing sustainable development and job creation, we pave the way for a thriving, resilient community that benefits us all.
I am a supporter of the initiative to build a sustainable city because it’s an innovative way to attempt to correct issues that Solano County faces. This initiative will help solve issues relating to work opportunities, affordable housing, and accessible spaces that foster fun and connection amongst the community. I am excited about all the new opportunities this project will bring to the county I call home!
California Forever offers the forward thinking perspective our County needs. Residents need more housing and job opportunities.
Solano County desperately needs investments. Development in that area is going to happen and I’d rather see a thoughtful community instead of more warehousing. I support this investment in our community and it will be a good thing for most people who live here.
In 1998, my wife and I bought our first home right here in Suisun City. We schooled and raised our children here. One thing we noticed in Fairfield and Suisun is that amenities were scarce. That’s why we are so excited to hear about California Forever investing in much-needed housing, jobs, and amenities in our community!

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.

I like the whole environment and sustainability mission and the jobs this will bring to Solano.
As a hard worker, I welcome job opportunities in Solano County. This community also encourages walkability and everything in nearby distances, which I appreciate.

I’m very excited for this plan to come through. Solano has so much potential – it’s a great mid-point from different directions and would bring new jobs and build a stronger economy.
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.

What sticks out most to me are the housing opportunities for younger individuals and first-time home buyers!
The reason I support the California Forever is because I care about my children’s future and the environment that they’re growing up in. I believe this is something new that we as a society can all look forward to.

Building opportunity for all
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.

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

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.

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.
