Tech billionaires hire Democratic dealmakers in renewed push to build a Bay Area city

Tech billionaires are lobbying California state leaders to fast-track environmental reviews for a new Bay Area city project. They have hired former political figures to push legislation and seek to bypass local restrictions by annexing land into Suisun City. The project, led by California Forever, includes a shipbuilding operation and manufacturing hub, with defense company Saronic Technologies considering it as a factory location.
