Overview

  • California Forever has outlined a 2,100-acre Solano Foundry industrial park adjacent to existing homes in southeast Solano County to house defense, transportation, energy and advanced manufacturing firms.
  • A JLL white paper projects the Foundry will generate about 40,000 jobs and inject billions of dollars into Solano County’s economy.
  • Real estate broker JLL is leading leasing efforts and courting tenants such as aerospace company Hadrian and Serve Robotics.
  • Solano County supervisors have paused annexation talks until the county’s general plan is updated, delaying the project’s formal incorporation.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom linked budget approval to bills that streamline environmental reviews for advanced manufacturing sites like the Solano Foundry.
