Vallejo residents and City Council members aired mixed views Tuesday night on whether the Solano County Fairgrounds should be developed into some sort of entertainment center or left alone because the area is already a "toxic waste dump of noises." Some Vallejo residents and council members said they'd prefer a sports complex to the recommended mix of retail, entertainment and dining at 900 Fairgrounds Drive.

The way that Solano County has envisioned revamping the fairgrounds in Vallejo isn't economically viable, according to a market study turned over to Solano County supervisors last week. When it was produced in 2009, the Solano360 Vision was billed as part San Antonio River Walk and part Downtown Disney. The mixed-use development proposed walking paths along a restored creek, sports fields, office space, an expansive exhibition hall, a hotel and retail shops.

FAIRFIELD — One way to kick-start the development of the county fairgrounds is to expand Six Flags Discovery Kingdom or build another theme park, a county-hired consultant team has found. The future of the fairgrounds — located near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Highway 37 in Vallejo — has been discussed over the past decade. The vision for the 149.1 acres is a mix of private and public space with retail, commercial space and hotels.
