City of Marysville Announces Demolition of the Hotel Marysville Following Fire Damage, Expects Highway 70 Reopening

 

Marysville, CA – December 10, 2024 – The City of Marysville announces the commencement of heavy demolition work on the Hotel Marysville starting in the early morning hours of Wednesday, December 11, 2024. This comes after the historic hotel was severely damaged by a fire on June 15, 2024, rendering the building unstable and unsafe. The City expects the demolition to be completed by mid-to-late January 2025, marking a crucial step toward restoring the area and mitigating the ongoing negative impact on local businesses, transportation, and commuters.

 

The fire caused extensive structural damage to the hotel, leading to its eventual condemnation due to safety concerns. The building’s instability has not only posed a danger to public safety but has also disrupted the local economy. The presence of the damaged hotel has impacted nearby businesses, and the closure of adjacent sections of Highway 70 has caused significant delays for commuters and affected regional transportation.

“The damage caused by the fire and the ongoing instability of the building has had a significant effect on our community,” said Marysville City Manager, Jim Schaad. “Demolishing the Hotel Marysville is a necessary step to restore local traffic flow, revitalize the area, and ensure that businesses and residents can thrive. We are committed to minimizing disruption during the demolition process and are working closely with Caltrans to reopen Highway 70 as quickly as possible.”

 

The City will be coordinating with Caltrans to expedite the reopening of Highway 70 shortly after the demolition is complete, allowing for improved traffic conditions and access to the region.

“We understand the frustrations of commuters and local businesses, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that the demolition process is swift and efficient,” said Vincenzo Corazza, City Public Works Director. “We will continue to work closely with all agencies to minimize the impact and keep the community informed.”

Free Tire Disposal Coupons Available

                               Yuba and Sutter Counties, CA – Planning to do some spring cleaning soon? To assist in this effort, the Regional                                     Waste Management Authority again has coupons available for the free disposal of residentially generated waste                                     tires. Yuba and Sutter County residents can now request a coupon for the free drop-off of up to 20 residentially                                      generated passenger car and light truck tires per household (for rims up to 22 inches in diameter).

                               Free tire disposal coupons are issued on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. They expire 30 days                                     from the date of issue and a valid coupon must be presented when the waste tires are delivered to the drop-off                                       location. Tires do not need to be removed from the rims.

Call the Regional Waste Management Authority weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. at (530) 634-6890 to request a coupon or for more information on the program. Please be prepared when you call to provide the number of tires that you have for disposal. This program is for residential use only – no businesses.
