Silicon Valley-Backed Plan for New California City Advances to Ballot

Voters to decide on ambitious proposal for a sustainable community in Solano County this November

California Forever, led by Jan Sramek, aims to build a city with 400,000 residents, featuring green spaces, bike lanes, and solar farms.
The initiative has cleared the signature threshold and will be on the November ballot for Solano County voters.
Opposition includes local leaders and environmental groups concerned about transparency and ecological impact.
Proponents promise 15,000 jobs, $500 million for down payments, and $200 million for local revitalization.
The project has faced controversy over secretive land purchases and skepticism about its feasibility.
