New Hope Fellowship in Shingle Springs recently opened a new space known as "The Barn at New Hope". The purpose of this building is to provide additional facilities for fellowship and community needs. The New Hope Fellowship team has been working for nearly a year to bring the 40-year-old barn new life as a gathering space and resource for community youth. Part of their mission is to bring compassion locally and worldwide through empowering people. Community meeting spaces are important for residents to gather and enjoy the company of others. Supervisor Turnboo attended the ribbon cutting event for New Hope Fellowship and celebrated providing more community resources.

Bucks Bar Road Bridge is currently scheduled for replacement beginning after Thanksgiving in 2027. The planning and development of the Bucks Bar Road Bridge Project has taken years due to environmental concerns, native sacred sites and limits with the surrounding topography. DOT staff have been working to determine the most effective way of replacing the bridge. The current one-lane-bridge has tremendous potential for vehicular accidents and cannot be simply upgraded to improve driving safety. The replacement bridge will have two lanes and will provide greater viewing distance to drivers crossing the bridge. Residents wanting to learn more about the Bucks Bar Bridge Project are encouraged to visit the website or contact DOT at (530) 621-5998.
