FAIRFIELD — A group opposing the proposed California Forever development in eastern Solano County says it remains open to working with labor leaders following the project’s newly announced construction agreement with trade unions.

Solano Together, an organization originally formed to oppose the East Solano Plan and now focused on challenging California Forever’s annexation proposals in Suisun City and Rio Vista, addressed the issue in its latest digital newsletter. The response followed the developers’ announcement of a construction-related agreement with two trade union organizations.
According to the group, Solano Together is willing to engage with any union leaders or members who have concerns about the proposed development and its potential impacts on local communities. The organization emphasized that while it continues to oppose the scale and scope of the California Forever project, it does not view labor organizations as adversaries in the debate.
The California Forever proposal envisions a large-scale, master-planned community in eastern Solano County, a plan that has drawn significant public attention and opposition over land use, infrastructure, water supply, and governance issues. Opponents have argued that the project could reshape the region without sufficient public oversight or guarantees for existing residents.

The recently announced construction agreement between California Forever’s development team and union groups was framed by developers as a step toward ensuring organized labor participation and workforce standards if the project moves forward. However, critics say the agreement does not address broader concerns related to annexation, environmental review, or voter approval.
Solano Together reiterated that its opposition is rooted in long-term planning and accountability rather than labor issues, signaling that dialogue with unions could continue alongside its broader campaign against the development.
The group has remained active at public meetings and through community outreach efforts, including demonstrations outside the Solano County Government Center, as debate over the future of eastern Solano County continues.
