Oroville Riverfront Centennial Plaza Dedication
On November 28th 2007, Green Valley was invited to attend the dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony for the City of Oroville's Centennial Plaza Riverfront Project. The plaza located on the bank of the Feather River is to commemorate the City's 100th anniversary. The City contracted with Green Valley to provide design and civil engineering services for this first phase of a larger master plan that will encompass a one mile stretch of riverfront improvements. The project includes amenities such as a wide pedestrian promenade with historic lighting, public plaza with raised planters and seat walls, decorative metal trellis structures, interactive water feature, decomposed granite pathways, roadway and parking improvements, native drought tolerant landscaping, and a scenic river overlook offering dramatic views of the river. The plaza is a destination for residents and tourists alike visiting Historic Downtown Oroville.
In addition to the dedication ceremony the day's events included museum tours, horse drawn carriage rides, art displays, Model A Car show, and displays of upcoming City projects. The day was rounded out with speakers Steve Jernigan, Mayor of Oroville and State Senator, Sam Anaestad of the 4th District.
Green Valley's Dog-Friendly Atmosphere Featured in North Bay Biz Magazine
Green Valley was one of a handful of North Bay businesses highlighted in the October 2007 issue of North Bay Magazine's "Heavy Petting" story featuring the benefits of sharing your workspace with animals.
Green Valley Consulting Engineers in Santa Rosa has been dog-friendly since the company started about 10 years ago, thanks to founder Liz Ellis, whose English spaniel Cody was an office mainstay from the beginning. Cody had to be put down earlier this year, and LD (Lucky Dawg), the elderly fellow Ellis adopted from Spaniel Rescue a few weeks later, sadly joined Cody only recently. (But don't worry-all dogs go to heaven!) Read the entire article here.
