Solano County residents voice concerns over ‘California Forever’ development
California Forever’s previously promised “listening tour” continued Monday afternoon in Fairfield, as Paradise Valley Estates held a forum for its residents to ask questions of community and business leaders on the proposed new city in eastern Solano County. Jan Sramek, CEO of California Forever, joined state Sen. Bill Dodd, Solano County Supervisor Mitch Mashburn and retired Travis AFB pilot Steve Vancil for a panel discussion regarding the company’s proposed developments on the 50,000-plus acres they have purchased over the last five years. … But Sramek pushed back, criticizing the state of water quality that comes to Solano County from the North Bay Aqueduct, which he said has some of the most polluted water in the state, as well as other issues that face the county. He also said the same polling mentioned above indicated that almost half of the county thinks the proposed project is a good idea.
