Target Industry Sectors
The City of Vacaville has embarked on the next generation of development of its world class biomanufacturing cluster. The City has been working to implement the newly developed Biotechnology and Advanced Manufacturing Initiative. This initiative is an economic development investment strategy that would capitalize on Vacaville’s strengths in life science and advanced manufacturing, which have become the new economic drivers of the community. Implementation of this strategy has the potential to grow the City’s tax base, create jobs, and strengthen the local and regional economy.
