"California Forever's proposed mega-development has crossed its first hurdle in its bid for annexation by Suisun City. After receiving the company's development application earlier this month, City Manager Bret Prebula said Tuesday he and other officials deemed it complete."
"The project would be built in two phases: Over 20 years, the company would focus on development west of Highway 113 and would build 65,217 new homes, the majority of its advanced manufacturing park called the " Solano Foundry," along with a downtown and entertainment district. In its application, California Forever anticipates that the first phase would be able to support around 150,000 people."
"Later, around 2050, the company would start development east of the highway and fully build out the community, which could eventually support 400,000 people."
"Sramek called it "the next great American city.""
California Forever submitted a development application for annexation by Suisun City that city officials deemed complete. The proposal would create a new community built in two phases: over 20 years west of Highway 113 with 65,217 homes, a large advanced manufacturing park called the Solano Foundry, and a downtown and entertainment district expected to support about 150,000 people. Around 2050 development east of Highway 113 would begin to fully build out a community capable of eventually supporting 400,000 people. City leaders see annexation as a way to grow the tax base and address a structural budget deficit. Resident reactions ranged from enthusiasm for jobs and housing to skepticism about feasibility.
