Some GREAT News
High Angle Driveline: First Completed Commercial Business Rebuild
Jesse and Tammy Jaynes, owners of High Angle Driveline, have been Ridge residents for over 40 years. While their home survived, their business did not. They filed a permit in late fall of 2019 and broke ground in January of 2020. May of this year marked the completion and opening of the business at the original location: 7245 Clark Road. It is the first completed steel frame commercial rebuild in Town. To learn more, visit the Make it Paradise blog
What’s New:
● Reminder: As of January 1, 2021, the rules about living in RVs on private lots in town will change. You will be required to be actively rebuilding a permanent home on your property (different than a temporary RV permit) to continue living on your property in an RV. For information on the building process and to connect with financial resources for rebuilding, contact our Rebuild Advocates at (530) 872-6291 x429 and x430.
● Missing Middle Grant Income Limits Extended for Larger Households. The grant helps reduce pre-construction costs for lower, middle -lower and middle class households who want to build/rebuild in the Camp Fire footprint. The grant reimburses up to $5,000 pre-construction costs. Find more details at rebuildparadise.org/grants.
● FREE masks are available at the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce to Ridge businesses. This is a joint effort from the North Valley Community Foundation and Feather River Health Foundation. Please contact the PRCoC at 530.877.9356 or stop by 6161 Clark Road #1 to pick up masks. Hours are Wednesday – Friday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Delivery is available.
