What is the relationship between the shipyard and the new city?

Mon Mar 31 2025

The proposed new city and the Solano Shipyard Complex are separate projects but they have a symbiotic relationship. The shipyard provides jobs for city residents nearby, and the city ensures shipyard workers have access to affordable, high-quality housing, addressing one of the biggest challenges in shipbuilding: workforce recruitment and retention.

This coordinated approach supports economic development and the quality of life for shipyard workers and their families. It also ensures that building the Solano Shipyard doesn’t create a housing shortage in the region, by ensuring the new city provides housing for shipyard workers.
