Solano Voters Want Gov Cutbacks. Unemployed Have Smart Alternative.

Solano voters are angry at Washington candidates for the growing budget deficit. Solano county and six of its seven cities are doing poorly too (Dixon, Vacaville, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Vallejo, Benicia).

The proven solution is for the ambitious Solano professionals to look at their resume for what skills they can market directly to Solano businesses or consumers. If a company could hire and resell their services, why not take matters into one’s own hands? 

There are countless possibilities.  Remember studies show that businesses starting in a lackluster economy are more likely to last in the long haul.

Solano Elections: Jane Day & Others May Win Suisun.


Solano County voters are predicted to vote Jane Day candidate into Suisun political office. Solano election is about more Solano job openings from small business.

Jane Day is much liked by the Suisun voters. Jane Day has been pro Solano small business development. Unofficial Solano election gossip says Jane Day will win the election with the most votes on Nov 2nd.

The other Solano County election candidates showing strong interest in helping Solano businesses in creating more jobs include

• Solano Board of Supervisors Election: John Vasquez – re-election
• Suisun Election: Suisun Mayor Pete Sanchez – re-election, Suisun City Council Jane Day – re-election.
• State Assembly District 8: Mariko Yamada.

Congressman Garamendi Touts Solano Manufacturing For Country's Ills

Congressman Garamendi in Solano County spoke to Solano business people in Fairfield last Thursday. More on Solano Manufacturing at DailyRepublic.com and SolanoBusinessNews.com

Solano Center For Business Innovation

Solano Center For Business Innovation

The Solano Center For Business Innovation is a new organization being funded by different government agencies in Solano County.

They will be providing at least some of the services already being offered by the privately funded Solano Business Incubator at 707 434-8000, Fairfield-Suisun Chamber of Commerce, Vacaville Chamber of Commerce, and private business consultants who earn their living helping Solano small businesses grow and hire more employees.

Solano Center For Business Innovation was started by Chuck Rieger.  It's located in the Solano Economic Development office in Suisun.

Congressman Talking On Solano Manufacturing at Solano Breakfast

Congressman Garamendi for Solano County is speaking at a breakfast in the Hilton Garden Inn over at 2200 Gateway Court, Fairfield. The topic for Solano County entrepreneurs is Solano Manufacturing.

Solano Manufacturing startups often get a foothold at Solano Business Incubator's cost effective office rentals, conference rooms and more.

Economics Is Prime Focus Of Solano Voters In Nov Election

Solano voters focus mostly on economic issues. They want to make sure Solano will keep up, or out compete other California counties when it comes to high technology. 

For example, Suisun City Council member Mike Hudson continues to push the importance of Suisun City's high tech abilities in his re-election run for Suisun City Council. 

Solano County Marijuana Tax

When Will The Solano County Marijuana Tax Start?

Will Solano's cities elect to tax marijuana if proposition 19 passes? Will Solano cigarette stores carry pot? What about convenience stores carrying it? A state wide tax initiative makes more sense if a huge levy is to be exercised, this will keep people from shopping in one town versus another California town.

Steven Kays predicted pot might eventually get legalized at some point, so convinced Fairfield City Council not to open any new cigarette stores near Fairfield's Armijo High School. Rick on the council strongly agreed about the Solano County Marijuana Tax's related matters.

Limited Parking In Downtown Solano Cities Hurting Business. Election Topic.

Solano Parking Issues Today. At least the Solano economy is good enough that it sometimes poses a problem.

Vacaville, Suisun City, Vallejo and Benicia want more parking in their downtown.

Suisun City: Don Spering made more downtown Suisun parking a major part of his campaign. Don Spering said he would convert some of the dilapidated buildings that had no economic hope of being remodeled. Mayor Pete Sanchez, Council members Mike Hudson and Jane day all agree this is important when the budget can afford it.

Vallejo: Can they ever afford more parking in the near future?

Some people joke around and say that a Solano County Marijuana Tax could be diverted to paying for more Solano parking spaces.

Fairfield Tourism Association

The Fairfield Tourism Association in Solano County's capital city states their interactive website is a success. www.fairfield4fun.com

“We are committed to engaging people to visit Fairfield and the Suisun Valley through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube and expanding accessibility to our Web site,” said the exec director for the Fairfield Tourism Association.

Fairfield Tourism Association (707) 761-9668 www.fairfield4fun.com

Vallejo Ferry Remodel

The Solano Vallejo Ferry Station project is key to Solano economic recovery.

US Representative George Miller (democrat) described the Vallejo Ferry as part of the Solano economic growth drive.

The $74 million Vallejo Ferry Station will become a major San Francisco Bay - Solano hub for Solano transportation, Solano bus, automobile and bicycles.

Some posed the question if it would be cost effective for Fairfield and Vallejo to promote each other such as via www.fairfield4fun.com.  But this is unlikely.

Benicia hopes to attract Solano technology companies

Benicia is hoping to attract Solano technology companies. Meanwhile Fairfield is more successful with being the center for Solano innovation by having more inventions filed as patent applications than Benicia, Dixon, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville & Vacaville.

Fairfield is focusing on tourism for now with www.fairfield4fun.com.  High technology in Solano County is heavily concentrated with Innovation Institute, LLC.

Solano Government Pension Funds Bring City Cut Backs. Cut Backs Hurt Business.

Solano businesses are being hurt by Solano County and city spending cut backs.  Solano cities have to cut back how much they have been paying Solano businesses in order to meet city pension fund requirements.  It's a ripple effect.

Solano Homeless Hurting Solano Retail?

Solano retailers have complained about the growing Solano homeless problem. Solano small businesses want their cities to do more about it.

Nearly a decade ago FixFairfield.Org convinced the Fairfield City Council to move ahead with building the Solano homeless shelter, and close Allan Witt Park to overnight sleeping guests.  Allan Witt Park has enjoyed its remarkable rebirth, along with it's multi-million dollar new indoor outdoor swimming pool facility.

Faifield City Councilman John Mraz and Councilwoman Cat Moy are also very tough on Solano homeless issues.

Napa Loses To Fairfield & Vallejo On Business Rankings

Solano Property Managers Save Owners Money

Solano County studies show Solano County real estate property managers save money for property owners.  Solano property managers work out bulk pricing for construction work, offer rentals, screen Solano tenant applicants, and know the ropes.  Keeping abreast of Solano real estate law is also important. The Solano County cost savings can more than pay for their fees.

Solano County home owner associations like Rancho Solano save money this way. They've been hiring LLW Properties to handle day to day HOA issues.

Share your comments about Solano County property managers with Solano Business News at 707 434-8000.

Solano County - Strategic Location

Solano County borders Napa and is nicely located between the Inner San Francisco Bay Area, and  Sacramento. The government and business capital of Solano County is only 30 min from Berkeley and 40 min from both downtown San Francisco and downtown Sacramento.

More businesses choose the center of Fairfield's California Business Center for office suite rentals, Virtual Offices, conference rooms and more than any other Solano County office building.

Solano County works hard to attract new businesses, and even offers seventy five dollar virtual offices, three hundred and seventy five full package furnished suites, and much more to entire new comers.

Vallejo New Rite Aid Opens - Drive Thru Pharmacy

The new Vallejo Rite Aid’s planning and design features wider aisles, drive-through pharmacy and more.  They are planning to take on Wal-mart, CVS, and Walgreens.

Many people are complaining that CVS has ruined the culture of the Longs Drugs they took over.  Ask how the limited remaining CVS employees feel about the change.  While they may not speak out, the answer is in their longing eyes for the good old days before new corporate mentality took over. Longs lost the neighborly feel and now feels more like a business that came right out of a cookie cutter.

Solano Walmart To Bring More Tax Revenue. More Pressure On Other Solano Retailers.

First A Recession.  Now Expect More Pressure On Other Solano Retailers From Solano Walmarts.

Government body voted to approve the Suisun Walmart project. More paper work is needed.

The new Walmart will now mitigate for some watercourse before Suisun Walmart can start construction.

Coming is 182,000-square-foot Suisun Walmart Supercenter by Walters Road Highway 12 in Suisun.

Good news is Suisun needs more tax revenue.  The Fairfield Walmart by highway 12 and I-80 will close and move to Fairfield's North Texas Street.

How will Solano Walmarts effect Suisun and Fairfield businesses?  www.FixFairfield.com

Solano Going Green With Transportation

New owners of Fairfield Taxi company are buying up hybrid cars for use as taxis.  They expect this will help save gas, while boosting demand from customers that patronize green friendly businesses. 

Solano County's MV Transport is going green with their bus systems as well.

Another Solano company, InventionSpringboard.Com has GPS inventions that help taxi companies increase profits. This is done by improving the ability to predict where traffic backups are more likely to occur. Avoiding traffic backups, saves gas and time.

New Business Concept Lands In Solano County

Driven Raceway is targeting Solano’s family market. They will offer innovative indoor race carts going up to 45 MPH. It might open Oct. 16 in Fairfield’s former Circuit City.

There is nothing yet like it in Solano County.  Stearn, the chief executive officer and Towery, the chief operating officer for Driven Raceway are very excited.

This will be Driven Raceway’s second store.  It will be near enough to their Sonoma store.

With their high prices, and probably high insurance premiums, let’s hope they turn a healthy profit.  Pricing: http://www.drivenraceway.com/go-kart-racing-hours-and-pricing.htm

Solano is more innovative than some may think.  Did you know Solano County (especially Fairfield) has one of the world’s highest number of inventions in country? Remember, you read this first here. More in future blogs here at http://www.solanobusinessnews.com/.

The entertainment concept is a smart adaptation of the previous Circuit City building.  Evolution can be tough.  Good Guys was partly taken out by Circuit City.  Then Circuit City was hurt by Best Buy.  What’s going to replace indoor race cart driving in the upcoming decades?

Solano needs more smart innovators to take us out of our economic slump.
