California Forever Wants to Build a Manufacturing Town | KQED
Briefly

California Forever plans to build the largest site for advanced manufacturing in North America next to homes within a proposed mega-development in Solano County. The initiative follows a previous attempt to build an entire city in the region. State leaders recognize the issue of manufacturing jobs declining in California. Recent state budget negotiations included efforts to expedite environmental reviews for advanced manufacturing sites. Local officials believe attracting new industries is essential for sustaining the economic future of Fairfield and diversifying the local economy.
You cannot really operate as a country if you're only doing service jobs and basically outsource your middle class, and then you're not building anything anymore.
In order to sustain the future of Fairfield, the future of Solano County, you have to continue to grow your commercial base. And the only way to do that, I think, is to have new industries come in to diversify your economy.
