Tahoe 2025: A South Shore Community Vision

CREATING THE VISION

In the fall of 2019, Tahoe Chamber leaders invited local city, county, and regional officials and other keycommunity stakeholders to share their expertise and unique perspectives to answer one essential question: in the year 2025, how will you reflect over the past five years and measure success toward an improved Lake Tahoe South Shore? The product of this outreach is our Tahoe 2025: A South Shore Community Vision,
a document comprised of measurable objectives in the areas of economy, housing, infrastructure and transportation, recreation, education, arts, cultural, and entertainment, health and wellness, public safety, environmental stewardship, and leadership.

A vibrant economy and our special Tahoe lifestyle do not happen or sustain by accident. By working together locally and throughout the region, we can achieve our community vision and shape our future.

THE ROLE OF THE CITIZEN

Neighbors, co-workers and friends play a vital role in designing our future in partnership with the public and private sectors by becoming educated on the issues and actively engaged in supporting the Vision.

THE ROLE OF BUSINESS

Business is an integral part of the community – providing jobs, generating local investments, and creating connections to address challenges and solutions. Business attracts and sustains intellectual capital within our community, plays a key role in community leadership, volunteerism and encouraging a stewardship ethic that aligns business practices with our natural environment.

THE ROLE OF THE TAHOE CHAMBER

Tahoe Chamber’s role in actively supporting the achievement of this Vision is to be a CATALYST for business growth and development; a CONVENER of leaders and influencers to execute change, and a CHAMPION for a stronger, thriving community.
