California Tahoe Conservancy acquires Van Sickle entrance parcel, approves beach grants, and water main at Meeks Bay
At the California Tahoe Conservancy Board meeting on Thursday, the board acquired a parcel of land at the entrance of Van Sickle Bi-State Park, approved the Senate Bill 630 public access grants for Regan and Secline Beach, and approved Tahoe City Public Utility District’s water main extension into Meeks Bay. … The passing of Proposition 4 this past election authorized $10 billion to spend on environmental and climate projects. Here in the Basin, Vasques said there is $25.5 million available for watershed and forest health work and $29 million allocated for reducing the risk of climate change; impacts on communities, fish, wildlife, natural resources; and increasing public access. Vasques also said that the bond will drive benefits towards disadvantaged communities, including tribes like the Washoe.
