- Inside California Forever’s high-pressure push to fast-track a shipyard
California Forever has repeatedly pressured Solano County officials to fast-track state legislation supporting its shipyard development. The company, backed by a tech billionaire, has acquired nearly 70,000 acres in Solano County since 2018, initially pitching a walkable city that later expanded to include a manufacturing hub and a shipyard. Despite local resistance over risks and secretive practices, the group employed aggressive lobbying methods, pressuring county staff during legislative sessions.
