The Community:
The City of Vallejo is a vibrant waterfront community of 119,000 residents, located 27 miles northeast of San Francisco and 60 miles west of Sacramento. The City of Vallejo has become a city of transition, moving away from a military background to one of new growth and excitement. A proud, rich Naval history has given way to a suburban lifestyle, with new home developments, renewed interest in the Old Town area of the City, and a steady increase in property values, making Vallejo attractive to first-time home buyers as well as those looking to relocate and still maintain a Bay Area address. Mare Island Naval Shipyard - the oldest Naval base west of the Mississippi– closed in 1996, ending a 139-year relationship with the City. Since that time a base reuse plan has been adopted and redevelopment of the property has begun. Looked at as a national model for base reuse, Mare Island will eventually be home to 7,000 to 10,000 jobs in research and development, light industry, warehousing, and retail and entertainment. Some 1,400 homes are expected to be built on the Island, along with a historical district that many consider one of the keys to the revitalization of the base. Meanwhile, work continues across the Mare Island Strait on Vallejo’s ambitious waterfront plan, which calls for a hotel/conference center and other amenities.

Waterfront work will be connected to the City’s downtown revitalization effort in Old Town Vallejo, a 12-square-block area of the City filled with historical buildings and unlimited potential. Plans to revitalize the Empress Theatre are progressing rapidly, along with the Hotel Vallejo and other properties in the downtown area. A strong retail base continues to grow, with new development planned for the Northeast quadrant of the City, including a new auto mall, retail and residential elements. Thanks to the passage of Measure G, a $124.5 million Solano Community College bond issue, a new campus has opened in the northeast quadrant of the City. The community of Hiddenbrooke features an 18-hole golf course and a planned 1,200 homes, including custom homes. At the north end of Vallejo, Hiddenbrooke hosted the LPGA Samsung World Championship for three years, putting Vallejo in the national spotlight. The multitude of exciting projects, affordable housing, Bay Area location, recreation activities, including Six Flags Discovery Kingdom theme park and plenty of things to see and do, make Vallejo a wonderful place to live and work. The multitude of exciting projects, affordable housing, Bay Area location, recreation activities, including Six Flags Marine World Theme Park and plenty of things to see and do, make Vallejo a wonderful place to live and work.

The City:
The City of Vallejo, five time winner of the League of California Cities’ Helen Putnam for Excellence Award in various categories, is a full-service municipality, organized as a council-manager form of government, with an $85.8 million general fund budget. The five member City Council and City Manager provide community leadership, and develop policies to guide the nearly 600 full time staff in delivering services, while achieving community goals and encouraging citizen understanding and involvement. Citizen commissions make recommendations to the City Council on such matters as planning, housing, redevelopment, human resources, human relations and community services. The City is also one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States.

In 2001 the City made a commitment to alternative energy, beginning with the installation of a solar panel system at the Corporation Yard. Since then three more systems have been installed—at City Hall, the neighboring JFK Library, and at a water pumping station in the northeast quadrant of the City. Visitors from as far away as the Philippines have come to Vallejo to learn about our solar panel facilities. Along with our solar panels we maintain a fleet of hybrid vehicles. Vallejo serves as a major gateway to the Bay Area, with Napa Valley, Historic Benicia, East Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.
