Previous Economic Studies
The Solano County Index of Economic and Community Progress is a project launched in 2007 after a series of economic summits identified a need for more fact-based information to guide efforts by the public and private sectors’ leadership to expand the long-term viability of the Solano County economy. Through its partnership with the Solano Economic Development Corporation, the County took the lead in developing, gathering, and presenting this useful data to aid local economic development decisions.
This Index shows how successful the community as a whole has moved forward the Solano County economy over the last decade. It also highlights areas where additional collaborative efforts are needed to sustain a thriving economy that ensures shared economic prosperity. The indicators describe “Our Changing Economy” and “Our Changing Community.” These indicators are updated throughout the year as more current information becomes available.
The first Index identified industry clusters in Solano County that outperform the Bay Area and the state. In-depth studies have been conducted on three clusters to understand the underlying principles driving their success. These include the Life Science Cluster, Energy Cluster, and Food Chain Cluster.
With this knowledge, the Solano community can understand the synergy that makes these clusters successful and how to sustain a business climate that fosters their continued growth. These documents spark serious conversations about the future of Solano County. The challenge for every community member is to take action, build upon our strengths, and address our challenges to move Solano County toward a positive vision for the future.
