Lake Tahoe Regional Plan Update approved
Submitted by Editor on Wed, 12/12/2012 - 6:34pm
For the first time since 1987, Lake Tahoe has a new regional plan for development and land use.
Twelve of the 14 voting members of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's governing board voted in favor of the new plan, with one member voting against it and another abstaining, according to TRPA spokesman Jeff Cowan.
Business interests say the plan is an overdue overhaul of regulations that will jump-start Tahoe's tourism economy while also protecting its environment.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 11/14/2012 - 3:15pmRecommendations Regarding 'Economic Revitalization' for South Shore Lake Tahoe
Submitted by Editor on Tue, 11/06/2012 - 5:26pm
After attending the State of the South Shore Economy Public Forum held on October 23rd, 2012 I was inspired to draft a response to the questions about economic revitalization that were asked at the meeting. I feel like our group had many salient ideas that were not properly represented. Also, I have noticed that people are quick to offer ideas like “reduce unemployment”, “beautify the city”, and “improve recreation”, but they are typically unable to offer suggestions on how to make those ideas a reality.
