California Forever Campaign Launches Amid Controversy
The initiative to build a new city in Solano County faces opposition and skepticism over its vague promises.
- California Forever's first TV ad promotes a new city with over 10,000 jobs but lacks specifics on industries and infrastructure.
- Critics, including U.S. Rep. John Garamendi, express concerns over the project's feasibility and impact on local taxpayers.
- The campaign aims to gather signatures for a November ballot measure, despite questions about project delivery and affordable housing.
- Renderings and ads emphasize walkable neighborhoods and a security zone for Travis Air Force Base, but fail to address key logistical issues.
- Opposition groups and local officials question the project's transparency and potential strain on county resources.
