Episode 69: California Forever - A local's perspective

Welcome to the Benicia Voice podcast, your local source for in-depth discussions and insights on the issues that matter most to our community! In today's episode host, Ruben, joined by insightful co-host, Rick Watson, and our dedicated producers, Andy and Bart delve deeper into the California Forever project. Today, we're diving into the latest developments surrounding the California Forever initiative. In a significant move, the organizers have retracted their plans for the November 2024 ballot. Instead, they're focusing their efforts on completing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and developing a comprehensive agreement. This shift gives them more time to engage with and understand the needs and concerns of our local communities. Join us as we unpack what this means for Benicia and the broader region, exploring the potential impacts and opportunities. Let's get started!
