More Jobs, Homes, and Clean Energy for Solano Residents
This initiative is by far the most innovative and groundbreaking project in city planning over the last 50 years. This project is the future for my grandchildren and I want to be in the forefront to make it happen. How will it turn out? Only the future knows and I'm hoping for the best. I do know that doing nothing is not a viable alternative.
The East Solano Homes, Jobs and Clean Energy Initiative is a game-changer for local restaurants and small businesses. By promoting housing, employment, and clean energy, we're laying the groundwork for a resilient society where businesses can excel. This initiative is about pragmatic growth for local entrepreneurs to prosper, as well as the importance of raising a family in a safe community.
Northern California is one of the most beautiful places on earth. However, home construction has not kept up with demand. Our region’s housing shortage is creating access and affordability challenges. Many in my family are seriously thinking about leaving the state. This initiative could go a long way toward solving our local housing problems through the construction of a complete community with good-paying jobs and a mix of housing for all income levels.
As the CEO and Founder of The Coach Sarna League, which includes an NFL Flag Football League and a LEGO STEM League, I am a strong supporter of the California Forever initiative for Solano County. Our league mission is to never turn a child away due to finances, and so because of this we have firsthand knowledge of the economic desperation of so many Solano County families. The plan to create thousands of good paying jobs will forever change the lives of so many Solano residents.
What I appreciate the most about the project is that it will create tens of thousands of good paying jobs and be an economic engine for the entire county. Many residents waste two to four hours commuting outside of the county every single day. This initiative paves the way to create jobs closer to home – that means more time spent with children, parents, grandparents, family and friends. A walkable, sustainable community with safe and vibrant neighborhoods is greatly needed.
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.
