As CBS Sacramento first reported earlier this month, since early December, more than 600 employees were impacted by layoffs and closures at the Budweiser plant in Fairfield, Mare Island's Dry Docks in Vallejo, two CVS locations, and the Valero Refinery closure in Benicia.
If the company lays off all its employees, which it is working to prevent, that could put Solano County's layoffs over 1,000 in just under four months.
A company spokesperson told CBS Sacramento in a statement, "This is a competitive business, and we've navigated similar challenges in the past and have emerged stronger for our efforts."
"It absolutely impacts us, and it's alarming for all of us, particularly because the smaller communities rely on industry from other cities to be able to employ our local workforce," said Alma Hernandez, Suisun City mayor.
"What we haven't seen is the ripple effect of the loss of those jobs and also all of the other small businesses that will be affected," Hernandez said.
"There is a lot of blood in the streets, to use that analogy. We need to come together as a region to figure out how to make this work so we can grow in a way that helps community instead of these very individualized conversations," Prebula said.
"I commend the city council and my team for being well ahead of this conversation," Prebula said.
"We're seeing what doing nothing does, and it's starting to have real impacts on real people," Prebula said.
But with the billionaire-backed plan also comes major labor agreements announced last month and the promise to build the nation's largest manufacturing park.
It is what Suisun City calls a working resiliency plan for all of Solano County.
The Solano County Workforce Development Board is working nonstop to reach the laid off workers across the county through job fairs, getting skilled workers placed in new jobs and by providing other resources with the full support of the Solano County Board of Supervisors.
Moy confirmed that Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser facility in Fairfield is currently up for sale. The company announced the plant's closure in December, with layoffs impacting more than 230 employees. Operations on site are expected to end entirely by the end of this week.
No further information is confirmed at this time as to who could buy the facility and when.
