FAIRFIELD AND SOLANO COUNTY COLLABORATE TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS

摘要

In 1998, the County of Solano had outgrown its offices in downtown Fairfield and planned to consolidate its operations in another location. The county was considering a site in one of Fairfield's business parks. This move would have had a major adverse economic impact on downtown Fairfield because the county is the downtown area's largest employer, occupying an area equal to four city blocks. The move would have also taken prime industrial land slated for private sector job generation and eliminated tax increment revenues from the local redevelopment agency, as the business park was in a redevelopment project area.
