SUISIN CITY, CA (MPG) - Suisun City is launching a series of Community Conversations to invite resident engagement as the city explores annexation as a way forward for Suisun’s future. Beginning with two sessions this fall on Sept. 24 and Oct. 27, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about how the city is progressing through the expansion exploration process and where they can get involved.

Each meeting will feature presentations given by subject matter experts, followed by an interactive question and answer session where residents are encouraged to provide feedback. The city is also actively seeking input through a community questionnaire at Suisun.com/ExpansionInput in advance of the meetings. The questionnaire aims to ensure that residents’ priorities, questions and concerns regarding expansion are heard and addressed at the workshops.

“We know our community has questions, and we welcome them,” said Suisun City Mayor Alma Hernandez. “This process is about open dialogue, transparency and listening. Resident participation is key to ensuring the decisions we make truly reflect the needs and priorities of Suisun City for today and the next generation.”

The first workshop in this series will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 6 p.m. at the Wednesday Club (225 Sacramento St.), and will feature a general overview of development and expansion efforts thus far, including what annexation is and how expansion could impact Suisun City’s economic future. The second workshop will be held on Monday, Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. at The Vault (700 Main St STE 102), and will elaborate on unique opportunities for economic growth and the potential to bring more cultural and commercial experiences to residents and visitors alike.

“Annexation is a complex process that has the potential to positively impact Suisun City in a number of areas," said Suisun City City Manager Bret Prebula. “We want to ensure residents are aware of the process, are provided information to understand the impacts and have opportunities to share their desires, thoughts and concerns along the way.”

Suisun City remains committed to centering community voices in the expansion exploration conversation. The city invites all residents to complete the community questionnaire and participate in upcoming Community Conversations.
