A Mega-City on Solano County Farmland? AI Data Centers in Our Backyard?
Out-of-town billionaires are trying to change Solano County's character with giant projects that could mean a new city, AI data centers, or battery electric storage systems.
Who we elect to the Board of Supervisors will determine what projects are allowed, and whether we protect our water and prime agricultural land for the next generation.
For six years on Vacaville's City Council, Dr. Michael Silva has asked the tough questions of developers, making sure that new projects fit our needs, not what helps corporate bank accounts.
That's why Solano County Farm Bureau, the Solano County Orderly Growth Committee, and elected officials across the political spectrum trust Michael to make the decisions that will determine this land's future for our children.
“I won't be a rubber stamp for out-of-town billionaires as they try to change Solano County's character.”
Michael Silva
