New City Development
Summary
California Forever, the billionaire-backed plan to build a new city in Solano County, says it has a fallback if voters reject its ballot measure. The outcome could reshape county growth and land use—so it’s worth watching even if you don’t live near the project.

Impact analysis
Taxpayers and county budgets could feel it either way—new development might add tax revenue and infrastructure costs, while a failed measure could leave planning costs and legal uncertainty.
If it moves forward, project backers and future residents could gain, and the county might see a larger tax base; if it stalls, opponents of sprawl keep the status quo.
Existing residents, farmers, and environmental interests could be hurt by traffic, water demands, and lost agricultural land if the city gets built.
