Public encouraged to support Markleeville businesses as they try to survive with road closures

ALPINE COUNTY, Calif. - After flooding closed the main route into Markleeville this week, the county economic official is asking the public to visit and support their businesses as they need support. With the closure of Highway 89 from Turtle Rock Park to Markleeville, businesses in Markleeville can be accessed over Monitor Pass (SR-89) and Ebbetts Pass (CA-4).

“Our businesses are the backbone of our community. Their resilience in the face of adversity should be recognized. Please consider spending your money where it counts the most. Support for our businesses is the best vector for recovery as we once again begin the recovery process. Please consider taking a beautiful drive through the Eastern Sierras and support the Markleeville community,” said JT Chevallier, the Alpine County economic development director.
