Big George Ventures, LLC (affectionately known as "BGV") is planning to develop high-quality housing in Carson Valley. We have purchased a 100-acre plot in Douglas County, Nevada that's just south of Carson City and approximately 0.5 miles east of Route 395-- specifically, our plot is bounded on the north by Topsy Ln and on the east by Center Dr, and we intend to build high-quality, eco-friendly, and cost-effective housing units on this excellent land.

Big George Ventures realizes that no company exists in a vacuum, and that its future is linked to that of the surrounding community and the people who live and work and play in it. Big George Ventures has high hopes that it will be able to be a very positive force in the Carson Valley/Douglas County area. At the time of this writing, all Big George Ventures principals and employees live in Douglas County.

Our development is currently very much in the planning stages: we are working on getting a land plan for our development, Georgetown Village, approved by Douglas County, and we are simultaneously working on the designs of the houses that we are going to offer.

Big Things for BGV

• BGV provided the bulk of the funding for the spectacular new football and track complex at Douglas High School. We are extremely proud to announce that the Douglas County Board of Education decided to name the facility the "Big George Athletic Complex" in honor of us.
  
• BGV also provided significant funding to various other Douglas County schools. In these times of tight budgets, schools deserve all the financial assistance they can get so that they can do the best possible job educating our children.
• BGV has pledged $1,000,000 in funding over the next three years or so to BlueGo to provide operating costs for a shuttle between Carson Valley and the South Lake Tahoe/Stateline area. We have high hopes that this shuttle will save hard-working locals significant money and time, as well as providing important environmental benefits.
• BGV gave South Lake Tahoe $250,000 towards its track and soccer field at the South Tahoe Middle School.
• BGV has provided funding to important public service groups in Douglas County, such as the Sheriff's Department, the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District, and the library.
  
• BGV helped fund Running School-- a non-profit organization aiming at curbing today's trends in obesity and poor health by teaching kids how they can live healthy, happy, fit lives. BGV principal Ray Sidney is the Vice President of Running School.
  
• BGV provided some big money to the X Prize Foundation to help fund their Automotive X Prize. This is a multi-million dollar prize designed to encourage industry to produce cars that are much more fuel-efficient and much less polluting than the cars you encounter on the road these days.
  
• In 2007, BGV sponsored the Carson Valley Community Food Closet's Wacky Waddlers Wiver Wace for the second year in a row by paying for the rubber ducks they sell to raise money. We also provided them with funding to buy a new truck that they critically needed.
  
• BGV sponsored Caltech's entry in the 2007 DARPA Grand Challenge to create autonomous ground vehicles that can navigate in the real world without any help from human operators.
• BGV  provided funding to the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena and the Tahoe Figure Skating Club, and is a "Diamond Puck Sponsor" of the South Tahoe Amateur Hockey Association. Get out there and play some hockey!
