Suisun City
Between 1989 and 2012, Suisun City implemented a redevelopment
program centered on the Old Town Waterfront and Historic Main Street
Shopping District. After decades where the value of the waterfront was not
taken full advantage of, it is now accessible to the general public via a new
Public Marina, Public Promenade, Harbor Square Plaza and the Hampton Inn
(Waterfront Hotel). The channel was deepened to allow boating excursions
from the San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento Delta.
