The so-called “disadvantaged” Big Lagoon Rancheria Indians (approximately 24 members of tribal Chairman Virgil Moorehead's family who reported living below the poverty level at the 2000 Census) have managed to acquire additional commercial property in Humboldt County apart from their 20-acre Reservation valued at more than $2.6 million. One of those properties generates revenue of almost $1,000,000.00 annually. The properties are located at the Big Lagoon, and in the towns of Arcata and McKinleyville.
Big Lagoon (517-131-006 & 017) – two contiguous parcels of 16-acres or more; on the southern shoreline of the Big Lagoon; zoned commercial; separated from the 20-acre reservation lands by California park lands; acquired in January 2007.
(517-281-004) -- an additional parcel of approximately 5 acres; located at Highway 101 and Big Lagoon Park Road; which the tribe intends to have taken into trust by the U.S. Government; the subject of dispute, currently under appeal, with the California Coastal Commission; 284 Big Lagoon Park Rd Trinidad, Ca 95570-9622; acquired in January 2000.
McKinleyville (508-061-025 & 027) – two parcels of unknown total acreage; zoned commercial; located between Central Ave and Highway 101 at the School Road exit; possibly the location of the tribe’s planned commercial health club facility.
Arcata (021-106-004) – a parcel of unknown acreage; site of historic 32-room Hotel Arcata; in central Arcata; located at 915 G St Arcata, Ca 95521-6217. Acquired in 1989. (Dunn & Bradstreet estimates annual revenues for Hotel Arcata to be at least $990,000.00).
