Newsom Pushes for Solano Shipyard | Fresno News

Governor Newsom is frustrated after Solano County rejected a major shipyard project backed by California Forever, calling it a missed chance to boost the region’s economy — especially since Solano has the highest unemployment in the Bay Area. While critics raised environmental concerns and questioned the tech billionaires behind the plan, Newsom insists he’s not wedded to any single project but is pushing for faster action to revive the county’s struggling workforce. Though the legislative session ends soon, local lawmakers say they’re open to revisiting the idea in the fall, keeping the debate alive as the state races to outpace competitors in economic development.
