'Milestone' agreement radically changes divisive Tahoe development
Briefly

Environmental watchdog groups in Lake Tahoe have reached a significant agreement with Palisades Tahoe to downsize a controversial development after 14 years of conflict. This settlement followed seven months of negotiations and resolves disputes over Olympic Valley's development plans, which originally included 850 residential and commercial units. Critics opposed a proposed 90,000-square-foot indoor water park, advocating for preservation of Tahoe's culture and values. The agreement reflects a collective achievement for those prioritizing environmental conservation in the region.
This is a resolution to the 14-year fight, and everyone who cares about Tahoe and joined us in standing up to keep Tahoe Truckee true should feel good about this outcome and what we've all achieved together.
The massive new development would remake the region, critics argued, emphasizing the need for preservation of Tahoe's culture and values.
