A homegrown non-profit with an unending mission to see Plumas County thrive
Born In the Wake of the Dixie Fire
After the Dixie Fire devastated the region, John Steffanic, Manager of the Plumas Sierra County Fairgrounds, proposed the establishment of an economic development organization with a focus on manufacturing products for export. This vision led to the birth of the Indian Valley Innovation Hub (IVIH). Given the urgent requirements in the burn scar area, IVIH initially directed its efforts there.
A Mission of Economic Uplift
Our primary objective was to bring together a network of mentors, experts, tools, equipment, marketing strategies, distribution channels, financing options, and branding resources to foster innovation within the Indian Valley community. Many product makers eagerly joined IVIH’s product development program, and we have continued providing them with unwavering support.
The Need For Expansion
Over the subsequent months, it became evident that entrepreneurs in the region had a broader spectrum of needs. Consequently, IVIH expanded its services significantly and forged partnerships with organizations capable of addressing the unmet requirements of local businesses. This expansion also caught the attention of entrepreneurs beyond Indian Valley, leading to inquiries and requests for support from all corners of Plumas County. In response, we have extended our services to cater to clients throughout the entire county.
