The Highway 12 is the County’s second busiest thoroughfare and its economic impacts will be discussed at the March 29 Solano Economic Development Corporation's monthly membership breakfast event in Fairfield.
Sandy Person, president of Solano EDC, said the event will provide an opportunity to learn more about this vital corridor as it is today and what are the possibilities that can lead to improved economic vitality! The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) has turned to Solano EDC to gather the data and study the economic influences of the corridor which runs from Lodi through Rio Vista, Suisun and Fairfield to Napa Valley.
The event will be held at 8:00 AM on March 29 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfield. Cost is $25 for EDC members and $35 for non-members. Reservations may be made by calling 707 864-1855 or e-mailing pat@solanoedc.org.
Person said the Highway 12 project demonstrates once again the "...value of creating working partnerships between Solano EDC and critical county and regional organizations. We have been called upon to conduct the economic analysis at this early stage of planning. Too often economic issues are not fully researched and publically aired until a project selection is well underway. This partnership shows how progressive our STA is and we at EDC are delighted to be a member of this important planning process."
Speakers at the March 29 breakfast will cover various aspects of the Highway 12 corridor, including reviews of its current traffic flows and the needs for infrastructure improvements throughout the route. Currently, project planning studies are being conducted which can lead to the critical highway capacity improvements. When completed, Highway 12 would be a major feeder route between the Central Valley and the Bay Area.
Speakers include: Jim Spering, Solano County Supervisor and long- time MTC Commissioner; Daryl Halls, STA Executive Director; Dr. Robert Fountain, Regional Economic Consulting, Mitch Conner and Peter Stanley of ArchiLOGIX.
