California Forever?
Join Napa Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) for a thought-provoking Town Hall event, “California Forever?,” featuring Conor Dougherty, a distinguished New York Times reporter renowned for his in-depth coverage of housing and urban development.
Conor brought the ambitious California Forever project into the national spotlight when he broke news about the eye-popping proposal and its until-then secret backers.
This event will delve into Conor’s groundbreaking and comprehensive reporting on the Solano County mega-project and explore, more broadly, the challenges and opportunities of creating more housing in California.
