The SHIPS for America Act was introduced to provide tax credits and financial incentives for domestic shipbuilding, culminating in President Trump's recent executive order to boost the maritime industry. Local efforts are underway, including a working group spearheaded by Assemblymember Lori Wilson to expand shipbuilding in Solano County, which was once home to the historic Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Community support highlights the potential for job creation and economic revitalization in the area, as stakeholders push to restore California's maritime heritage and reduce dependency on foreign trades.
"The Solano Shipyard is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore America's maritime leadership, revitalize our county's shipbuilding heritage, and bring tens of thousands of good jobs to the area."
"As we sit around discussing what we need to do, but not doing anything - we have to do something... We can do whatever it is that we need to do because that's how we're built."
