VALLEJO, CA-The Mills Corp. is eying the Solano County Fairgrounds here for a possible development. The 200-acre fairground site is located about 45 minutes from San Francisco along Interstate 80, near the Six Flags Marine World Park.

Arlington, VA-based Mills Corp. is in early discussions with Vallejo city officials and the County Board of Supervisors. If built, the development could comprise more than 1 million sf of retail, entertainment and restaurants, and compete for customers with malls in Fairfield, Concord, Richmond and Vacaville.

The talks are spurring a heated debate between city and county officials who are trying to decide what to do with the fairgrounds, whether to move it, operate it or sell the land. Sources with Mills say they have no intention of getting involved in the negotiations between city and county officials and will only submit a formal proposal once a decision about the fairground’s future is decided.
