Sutter County lies in the north central portion of California's Sacramento Valley, approximately 40 miles north of Sacramento. Industrial and commercial developers are finding a multitude of opportunities in Sutter County. Businesses choosing to locate in Sutter County can count on both a pro-business attitude and rapid permit processing.
The County's two incorporated cities, Yuba City and Live Oak, both invite industrial and commercial development. Enhancements include enterprise zone incentives, fully developed office parks, industrially zoned sites and urban services.
Sutter County's new general plan designates 3,500 acres of land as a Industrial/Commercial Reserve. Available for immediate development, it is located in the Greater Sacramento area, only five miles from the Sacramento International Airport. This premier reserve offers businesses immediate access to major freeways, nearby rail access and seaports, as well as a diverse, highly-skilled employee base.
If you prefer a more tranquil business setting, the General Plan now provides another 1,000 acres of industrial/commercial development at the base of the Sutter Buttes, the "smallest mountain range in the world" a truly beautiful setting, conveniently located next to a state highway.
