SYAR FOUNDATION SUMMIT

Join us as we chart a new path towards economic development for Solano County and beyond.

Three decades of tech in the bay area created massive wealth and historical inequity. Solano county, and Vallejo in particular, have been overlooked and left behind by business, philanthropy, and gentrification. Until now.

Tech billionaires and developers are pouring money into solano county. We have 30 years of data showing the impact this will have on housing, jobs, transportation, and displacement for local BIPOC communities.

This time, let's do things differently.

Let's set the standard for the next 30 years of economic development in the bay area and beyond, where opportunity and investment includes.
