California Forever, the company behind the East Solano Plan, aims to create 15,000 well-paid jobs in Solano County in the next 10 years.
- Hadrian: precision manufacturing for aerospace and defense.
- Living Carbon: growing plants that capture more carbon.
- Plenty: indoor vertical farming.
- Serve Robotics: self-driving robots that deliver orders on a sidewalk.
- Meter: internet infrastructure provider.
- Motive: fleet trucking operation.
- BREX: financial services.
- Cover: manufacturing modern homes.
- Build Casa: pays California homeowners cash to add more homes to lot spaces.
- Zipline: drone delivery and logistics.
- Freethink: media company that covers stories about the changing world.
- Instant Teems: customer teams built with military spouses.
“For too long, California has been sending good-paying jobs to Texas and Florida. With the East Solano Plan, our county is well-positioned to bring those jobs here instead.”
Hadrian’s founder and CEO Chris Power said the company is excited to be included.
“Hadrian is building a series of factories across America to enable space and defense manufacturers to get parts 10 [times] faster and halve the cost of making rockets, satellites, jets and drones,” Mr. Power said. “We are excited by the vision of amazing neighborhoods located next to a manufacturing zone designed to accelerate innovation in California.”
California Forever has collected nearly 25,000 signatures, enough to qualify for the November ballot, but has yet to gain official approval from the Solano County registrar of voters.
A yes vote would approve the developer’s general plan and rezoning of the agricultural land to designations that would allow the building of homes, businesses, parks, solar farms, and more.
The East Solano Plan includes approvals to build the largest solar farm in California, combined with a regional battery storage facility. The solar farm is expected to generate enough power for 1.5 million homes.
