'Homewood is public': Key vote safeguards public access to Tahoe ski area
Briefly

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's recent approval of changes to Homewood Mountain Resort's master plan has significant implications for the ski resort and the surrounding West Shore community. Following previous funding issues and community fear for the resort's future, this decision guarantees public access while allowing the resort to implement long-awaited redevelopment plans. The adjustments made emphasize the importance of the resort as a community gathering spot, reflecting years of delicate negotiations and the need to rebuild trust among stakeholders after past conflicts over its direction.
TRPA worked diligently throughout this process to ensure all voices were heard and the result is an updated recreation master plan that reflects the central importance of Homewood Mountain Resort as a key gathering place for the West Shore.
The recent changes closed potential loopholes in the fine print of the lengthy documents and secured public access to the ski resort, without hamstringing Homewood's ability to operate a viable business.
