The East Solano plan would create 15,000 local jobs that pay over $88,000/year
Every Solano family should have the chance to achieve the California Dream. This means having access to rewarding jobs right here in Solano County. Too many of us spend hours every day in super commutes to the Bay Area or Sacramento, time that could be better spent with our families.
If approved, the East Solano Plan would create over 15,000 well-paid jobs in Solano County in the next decade by bringing new employers here, directly creating hundreds of jobs in our solar energy business, and creating opportunities for local small businesses to expand.
To bring major employers and solar jobs to Solano County, vote YES on the East Solano Plan.
