Does the new city encroach on protected open space?

Tue Jul 16 2024

No, the proposed location for the new city avoids all habitat conservation areas including:

• Areas protected by the Suisun Marsh Preservation Act and Suisun Marsh Protection Plan.
• The Jepson Prairie Preserve, and conservation easement areas within the Jepson Prairie Area.

California Forever is committed to working with resource agencies and other stakeholders to expand conservation areas within the Jepson Prairie and surrounding areas.

That commitment is evident in the map below, showing the new city located in areas with the lowest ecological value (white) in the county, and not in areas with high ecological value (dark green) according to the draft Solano County Habitat Conservation Plan, prepared by SCWA (Solano County Water Agency).
