UPDATE MONDAY AT 3:50 P.M.:

From the Truckee Chamber website: Jennifer Montgomery is no longer able to make it to Good Morning Truckee. We’ll reschedule her presentation for a future date. We’ll still hear from Perry Norris of Truckee Donner Land Trust about the Truckee Springs Acquisition and from Ethan Birnberg of Porter Simon, who will present about California Business and Employment Law updates for 2020. 

Perry Norris, Executive Director for the Truckee Donner Land Trust to speak about the new Truckee Springs project. The Land Trust is working to preserve open space near downtown Truckee with the acquisition of the 26-acre Truckee Springs riverfront parcel, formerly known as the Bright Property. The proposed riverfront park provides access and open space downtown as well as creating options for the Town’s Phase 4 of the Truckee River Legacy Trail and connecting several trails to the Tahoe Rim Trail. The project includes a bridge spanning the Truckee River which could connect to a proposed public park on the Town’s 1.42 acre “Old County Corp Yard” on West River Street.
