Suisun City Accepts California Forever Annexation Plan, Launches Environmental Review

The annexation route replaces a countywide vote.

Overview

  • City officials deemed the 250-plus-page application complete and began technical, fiscal and environmental reviews for more than 16,000 acres.
  • The multi-decade plan envisions up to 400,000 residents, with an initial phase west of Highway 113 adding 65,217 homes, a downtown, an entertainment district, the Solano Foundry manufacturing park and a shipyard.
  • Approval would run through the Suisun City Council and Solano LAFCO, with a tax revenue‑sharing agreement required before annexation can advance and a council vote not expected until at least 2027.
  • A community meeting is set for Oct. 27, and the city expects to start EIR scoping within the next six weeks before releasing a draft for public comment.
  • California Forever’s filing includes general plan and code amendments and a fire protection plan, and it offers Suisun City $10 million if annexation is approved, while opponents cite risks to farmland, small businesses and Travis Air Force Base.
