Midway Commerce Center pitched as 1.5 million‑square‑foot project to bring manufacturing and logistics to Vacaville

A project representative said the Midway Commerce Center would be about 1.5 million square feet and is being positioned to attract advanced manufacturing and logistics employers to Vacaville. “Midway Commerce Center project's about 1 and a half million square feet,” the project representative said, and added the development is designed to accommodate a variety of uses.

The representative told attendees that the project team has engaged with Vacaville officials and praised the city’s efficiency in processing the project. “We engage with the city of Vacaville. Everybody jump in very efficiently, work super hard to meet deadlines, and we’re able to process the project and really in record times,” the representative said, adding that the site’s labor demographics and east–west and north–south connectivity make it attractive to commerce.

Speakers at the same discussion linked the project pitch to the region’s workforce and higher-education proximity. An industry representative noted Vacaville’s location between UC Davis and UC Berkeley and said the area’s lower real-estate and operating costs can help companies reduce expenses while tapping a technical workforce. A Solano College representative described local advanced manufacturing programs and said students who complete those programs are employed, framing the college as a source of trained workers for projects such as Midway.
