Keeping communities safe: The Board of Supervisors recently gave the green light to prepare for the next wave of rural fire prevention and protection improvements.
The county continues to work overtime with Cal Fire and others to address the on-going threat of catastrophic wildfire. Since 2003, the county has invested more than a half-billion dollars on fire prevention and emergency medical service improvements across our backcountry.
Housing: The county’s growing efforts to encourage the development of granny flats and other accessory homes are generating a lot of interest.
Parks and rec: A recent Board of Supervisors vote cleared the way for a much-deserved, long-awaited park in Alpine.
