Tahoe Prosperity Center holds annual economic summit - Envision Tahoe

The Tahoe Prosperity Center is holding its annual Tahoe Economic Summit on Wednesday, September 7 at Granlibakken. It is an opportunity to catalyze change and take action for the benefit of our regional economy while supporting our community, quality of life, and environment. While in-person tickets are sold out, there is an opportunity to attend virtually (see here).

Lake Tahoe may be made up of many communities, but we are one lake and one regional economy, so what affects some of us, affects all of us.

The theme for 2022 is “Envision Tahoe.” Due to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, plus the recent Caldor Fire, it is more critical than ever to look at economic diversification and recovery. Government leaders, local residents, business owners, young professionals, start-up companies, developers, investors, and entrepreneurs are all encouraged to attend to help us build a resiliency strategy that will benefit Lake Tahoe and all our communities.
