Master-planned to grow gradually over the next 40 years
Stronger Solano, for generations to come
I am a retired Federal Employee having worked for 4 different federal agencies. Now I’m a UBER/LYFT ride-share driver. California Forever will give the kids here in the Rio Vista area a chance to find local employment without having to graduate and move to where the real jobs are! I also love that any future construction in this area will create numerous jobs! Join us in solidarity, and Vote YES!
I support the plan.
I support the plan.
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.

The Bay Area and its cities need to do different. We’ve been stuck in a vicious cycle of ineffective governance, stifling bureaucracy, bad ideas and self-sabotage . We need to get back to what makes the Bay Area a global champion… bold ideas, entrepreneurial spirit, and a collective drive towards the future.
As a mother to one young adult and two high schoolers, I appreciate the prospect of establishing a new community adjacent to Rio Vista, providing opportunities for our children. Currently, Rio Vista lacks many amenities, but this initiative promises to introduce valuable options for work, healthcare, shopping, and recreation—essential elements for a brighter future for our children!
I’ve been living in Fairfield and Suisun since 1963. When I heard about a project called California Forever, a new city being proposed to be built in our area, I was happy and excited! Not only is it going to be an environmentally friendly community, but it’s also going to bring thousands of new high-paying jobs to our community. Let’s support this project and leap together into the future!
A major investment with infrastructure is very positive for our area, with an economic multiplier…

It’s about time we add recreational facilities for children living in Solano County. We need better parks and more jobs in the area.
I’m excited for an environmentally friendly community and I support California Forever.

You have to embrace change for the benefit of the future generation and not be stagnant on what we currently have. The future of our children is what we need to think about and change is what we have to embrace through California Forever.
I believe that this project is what Solano County needs. It will be beneficial for the economy and promote growth in our community.
I support this project and look forward to progress.
As a mother to four kids, I often fear they will grow up and move far away. Knowing there is a new community with more jobs, affordable housing, and small business opportunities is exciting.

As a Rio Vista resident, I support the California Forever project because I truly believe it can bring meaningful positive change to our community. First, it can attract new businesses, which would create a stronger local economy and give our residents more options and services close to home. Second, the project has the potential to generate new job opportunities, allowing local families to work and thrive without having to commute far. Lastly, I’m excited about the new energy and vitality this project could bring to Rio Vista—helping our community grow, improve, and become an even better place to live.
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.
As a veteran, Army retiree, and Vallejo resident, I am eager to witness the positive transformations that this initiative can bring to Vallejo and Travis Air Force Base. The focus on fostering environmental stewardship, preserving cultural heritage, promoting community engagement, and enhancing resilience is promising. This community-led approach ensures that the process aligns closely with the needs and aspirations of our local communities.
I am so looking forward to the growth, opportunities, and enrichment that California Forever will bring for our future generations.
The prospect of a European-style walkable town is very exciting! Envisioning a safe haven for my teenage kids, this initiative isn’t just building homes; it’s creating a community where nostalgia meets safety. It’s the promise of a place close to home where our family can thrive, and my teenagers can hang out securely, blending the best of familiar comforts and vibrant, walkable spaces.
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.
