Community Planning Happening in Your Area
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Regional Plan was approved in December and now Counties around Lake Tahoe are working to replace their Community Plans and Area Plan Statements with Area Plans. In collaboration, staff teams from TRPA and County Planning departments are working with communities around Lake Tahoe to define how their unique area fits into regional policies to bring about environmental and economic improvement.
