Truckee’s 2040 General Plan is approaching its final adoption this spring. Town staff and council look forward to implementing it, but local organizations and individuals argue the plan still isn’t ready.

In December’s My Shot, Mountain Area Preservation’s advocacy director, Sophia Heidrich, argues the Truckee General Plan Update, called Truckee 2040, doesn’t go far enough on protections for climate change, scenic corridors, marginalized community, and workforce housing. Heidrich urges readers to stay involved.
