At YSEDC, our core mission is to build the blocks of a stronger local economy: sites, infrastructure, workforce, and capital. As the holiday season approaches, there is one more block we need your help with: local spending. Every dollar you spend on a gift, a meal, or a stocking stuffer here in Yuba-Sutter is a direct investment in the stability and growth of our community, not an out-of-area corporation.

At YSEDC, we focus on the building blocks of growth: sites, infrastructure, workforce, and capital. Add tourism to that list.
