California Forever, the controversial billionaire-blocked land development project, has released the map for its planned utopian city for tech moguls in Solano County.
The proposed community will cover about 18,600 acres of "non-prime farmland" near Rio Vista and Suisun City, a prominent site for Native American culture and history.
California Forever Rolls Out New Proposals for Solano County
The community is planned to house up to 400,000 residents, mainly from Silicon Valley, and provide 150,000 new jobs to locals, or "at least 125%" of the county's weekly revenue.
Its billionaire sponsors will also contribute up to $200 million in addition to the $400 million "community benefits funding" affected communities are set to receive.
In a blog post on Thursday, California Forever said that they have already filed with the Solano County Registrar of Voters for the project to fully proceed.
California Forever is now waiting for the approval of at least 10 significant voters from the county before starting the proposed community.
No actual name for the city was given yet.

California Forever's Utopian City Receives Backlash from Residents
More incentives are now being proposed in the construction of the new community after reports of Solano locals heavily objecting the project.
Recorded footage from the town meetings show several residents shouting angrily at the project leaders, including one person yelling "shame on you" to CEO Jan Sramek.
Local news outlets reported "outbursts, accusations, and disdain" after Sramek said that the community with its low ecological value and limited agriculture is better suited for land development.
Most prominent protesters were Native Americans that are living in the area. According to residents, the project will destroy the grave site for Natives that has existed for a long time now.
Residents claim that California Forever will be "excavating and building on without even consulting us, the Natives of this land."
In turn, Sramek said he and his team will do field surveys and further engage with the affected communities. It is uncertain if the land developers have finally calmed down the dissatisfied locals.
