El Dorado County Visitor's Guide

A Place Where Prosperity and Tranquility Co-exist

From the foothills above the Sacramento Valley through the rugged mountains to Lake Tahoe, California’s gold country has a terrain as diverse as its inhabitants. The pioneering spirit that drew the gold seekers of yesterday still prospers among our current business owners.

El Dorado County remains a land that is rich in opportunity, given its central location, abundant labor pool, significant incentive packages and all the essential quality of life elements. El Dorado County offers businesses the environment necessary to ensure a successful and profitable operation.

The county is dedicated to working with businesses on a partnership basis in order to reach mutually desirable goals.
If you have any questions about programs, events, business seminars or general information about the county, please feel free to contact us at anytime. In addition, if you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can work to better serve you, we encourage you to give us a call. We are always working hard to improve upon the quality of service that we provide to our business community.

We look forward to working with you and your company in any way that we can. Please feel free to contact me directly at (530) 621-5570 or email me at spurvines@co.el-dorado.ca.us if I can be of assistance.
