Lagoon Valley Plan benefits Vacaville
Reporter Editor:

The new development plan for lower Lagoon Valley includes substantial benefits for the city of Vacaville and its residents, today and in the future.

The development plan will restore Lagoon Valley Lake, which was once a community asset, but has unfortunately degraded. The development plan will preserve 80 percent of lower Lagoon Valley as open space and dedicate more than 70 acres of new open space between the lake and the freeway.

Development in the area will bring thousands of much-needed, good-paying jobs and long-term business activity. The plan also will generate millions of dollars to the city's general fund that can be used to enhance public services for residents throughout the city.

This is a development plan Vacaville can be proud of. One would be hard-pressed to identify any other development project in the city's history that came with so many benefits without costing taxpayers a dime.
