I am excited about this project and I can’t wait for it to come into fruition. Being a new resident of Solano county, I saw the potential of this area which is why I decided to move here. The innovative vision and mission of this initiative supports the upward trajectory of growth and sustainability of our community towards a better future.
I’m a strong advocate for the California Forever initiative. This plan promises to generate local employment opportunities, reducing the need for commutes into cities. Moreover, I anticipate an increase in property values, which will usher Solano County into a new era of modernity and sustainability. As someone deeply invested in this community—as a resident, property owner, and businessperson—I’m optimistic about the transformative impact California Forever will have on our tranquil town.
I’m excited about the new development in Solano County because it promises a vibrant future, and a new community that reflects progress and possibility.
I was a part of the start up for California forever. I help run the campaigns, promoting the idea and dream. I believe in and participated in town halls as well as be the face of promoting California forever through media. I am a huge believer from the beginning.
I support growing Fairfield in a positive way.

We need to be all in on transformative ideas that bring more jobs and affordable…
We need to be all in on transformative ideas that bring more jobs and affordable homes to CA/Solano County. CA Forever is a great idea that has the potential to put us on the map in terms of world wide impact/visibility. Lets not stall this project, but instead fast track it.
Those who resist it are stuck in old ways of thinking and scared of change…lets not fall into that trap in 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!
I support the project because it seems like a win-win for everyone.

As a student pursuing a psychology degree, California Forever allows me to work, live, and socialize all in one place.
As a father of two young kids, I think often about the communities they will grow up in, this is why I support California Forever. Introducing new jobs, restaurants, parks and housing in the area will only benefit the growth and advancement of our Solano County communities.
I’ve worked here in Solano County for 50+ years and see the value of this project for our children. Why not have jobs brought to us?
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.

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.

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.
