The economic engine of the Suisun Expansion Plan and Solano Shipyard will not be limited to Solano County. The project will create a ripple effect of job creation and tax revenue that disaggregates across all of California. At full build-out, this results in 530,645 ongoing jobs, 26,986 annual average construction jobs, $4 billion for the state’s general fund, and $3.1 billion in tax revenues for local governments.
