The Town of Truckee and Holliday
Development have formed the Truckee Railyard
Partnership to develop a Master Plan for the Railyard located within
the historic downtown.
The goals are:
* Investing in Truckee’s downtown
* Strengthening the local economy
* Creating a Sustainable Plan for the future
The community vision encourages a compact and walkable mixed-use development,
which preserves and enhances the historic mountain community character
of Truckee.
The project has three phases:
Phase 1 - Understanding the town and the
site
Phase 2 - Exploring development alternatives
Phase 3 - Deciding how to implement the development
plan
Last winter, the Truckee Railyard Partnership completed Phase 1 of the
project, which included background research, a site analysis, community
meetings and a summary report. As part of Phase 2, the Partnership is
working to understand community needs and create design alternatives that
respond to them. Phase three will include appropriate environmental approvals
and entitlements to build the project.
The work is partially funded by a Sustainable Communities
Grant from the State Treasurers Office. The Town was recently awarded
a grant to restore Trout Creek from the State Department of Water Resources!

updates and events that are planned. .
