Update on the Big Blue Building on Marysville Road

Hello Neighbors, recently I attended a "Lunch and Learn" at the Sutter-Yuba Association of REALTORS® where attendees had an opportunity to hear the latest news about what is happening in our community.  I discovered that there is a generous amount of growth in the planning, including new housing developments in the south of Linda areas.

After the meeting I spoke with Rachel Downs, the Business and Community Engagement Manager of Yuba County Enterprise Solutions. Downs spoke about the many developments happening in Yuba County. I asked if there was anything in the plans to develop the Dobbins/Oregon House area and she answered that they are not planning to develop the foothills as the foothills is not highly populated, and they want to preserve the agricultural, farm-like communities in their natural state. Downs gave an example of someone moving to the foothills for the ambiance of peaceful living and then upon seeing new construction happening in their neighborhood they might get upset. I can see that rational way of thinking. I would not want new construction in my neighborhood either.
​
I also asked about the big blue building being constructed on Marysville Road in Oregon House. She was happy to answer my questions, and my mind is at ease that the building is not going to be a processing plant, as many in the community have been speculating. It is also not going to be a building where people will be discussing placing meters on our wells and figuring out ways to charge us for water usage. Basically, the big blue building is the office building where administrators and engineers who work for Bullard’s Bar Reservoir will work. As we know, aside from recreation, Bullard’s Bar Reservoir’s main purpose is to control flooding and provide water for our usage.
​
The video below is a brief explanation of what’s happening with the big blue building.

​Emerald Cove Marina on Bullards Bar Reservoir

My family and I recently spent a fun-filled day at Emerald Cove Marina on Bullards Bar Reservoir. We rented a ski boat that allowed us to select two free water sports toys. We chose the wakeboard and tube for our day of fun in the sun. 
​The Bullards Bar Reservoir is located in the northeastern part of Yuba County, California, in the city of Dobbins. It sits at about 2,000 feet elevation in the Tahoe National Forest.
​
My favorite part about Bullards Bar is that the water is a beautiful crystal clear color of teal. Geologists say the heavy mineral content in the red dirt soil prevalent in our local area is attributable to the color of the water. Also attributable to the beautiful blue-green tone is the dense forest that lies above the reservoir. Another feature of the lake that I enjoy is that it is very warm, making it fun to jump in and enjoy a good swim or any water sports offered at the marina.
​For starters, here are a few things you can expect to enjoy when you visit Emerald Cove at Bullards Bar in Dobbins, CA.
