Following a financial feasibility study discussion, the Placer County Board of Supervisors approved staff to move forward with the design of a fully affordable housing development plan on a portion of the Dollar Creek Crossing site in North Lake Tahoe. The move shifts the project from a mix of 110 achievable and affordable housing units to at least 80 affordable units with a reserved area for potential future development. The county will move forward with a developer agreement to complete the planning, design and construction of the fully affordable project. The board also supported creating a potential local tenant preference program that would consider local employment and residency in prioritizing future tenants. LEARN MORE

Placer County is moving forward with trailhead improvements this spring at the Lower Sawtooth parking lot at the popular entrance to U.S. Forest Service Road 06 in the Truckee area. The Placer County Board of Supervisors approved the county’s director of Public Works to initiate a construction contract with Baldoni Construction Service Inc. for up to $283,400 to pave the existing dirt parking areas at the Lower Sawtooth trailhead, add drainage and erosion control structures, install parking barriers and an informational kiosk, and add roadside signs to mitigate traffic concerns. The project is a collaborative effort between the county and the U.S. Forest Service – Tahoe National Forest. LEARN MORE
