A gold mine of opportunity and untapped resources, Yuba County is the best kept secret in California. Home of the largest geographic enterprise zone in California, Yuba County is at the forefront of growth.
Located 30 miles north of Sacramento, Yuba County centers around a rich agricultural heritage producing crops such as rice, prunes and peaches, and more than 25,000 acres of wildlife area and National Forest lands.
Yuba County offers an adequate water supply generating hydroelectric energy and providing recreational opportunities at Bullards Bar Dam and Reservoir.
With its open invitation to business growth shown by the 86 percent favorable vote for the development of a sports/entertainment complex, and a multi-million dollar motor racetrack as its foundation, this area is on track for development.
Inexpensive land and housing costs, combined with a small town, rural atmosphere, add to the quality of life. Take a well established medical community, active local theater and arts groups, service and social clubs, and unlimited recreational opportunities and add a business friendly local government with a history of sound land use and strategic economic planning, and it equals a county committed to economic and business development.
