Suisun Valley Area Community Workshops

A series of community workshops were conducted on the Suisun Valley Area as part of the Solano County General Plan update program. The community workshops were designed to give the public an opportunity to provide input in shaping the future of the Suisun Valley Area area. These workshops were built on the focus sessions conducted by American Farmlands Trust and UC Davis as part of the County’s Agricultural Futures Study to address future land use activities in the valley.

Each community workshop was interactive, with participation of community stakeholder groups, agencies, residents, property owners and others and built upon the work from the previous workshop. Through the community workshops, land use and circulation opportunities and issues of concern were identified for consideration in the development of conceptual land use alternatives for the area. Based on community review of the alternatives, a preferred alternative will be identified. The alternatives will be considered by the Citizens Advisory Committee as part of the General Plan update along with the recommendations from the County’s Agricultural Futures Study.
