Opinion: Homewood mega-development could hurt Tahoe
By Tom Rosenberg, Sacramento Bee
Some 40 years ago, the Perini Corp., a major national builder headquartered in Massachusetts, purchased the Chambers Landing resort on Tahoe’s west shore.
“Lake Tahoe is a place of unmatched beauty,” John Perini told neighboring homeowners, “We intend to develop Chambers Landing into a premier resort.”
Tahoe’s west shore, located in Placer County, consists of single-family homes and extends about 15 miles south from Tahoe City to Rubicon Bay. Perini bought 700 acres zoned prime recreational and residential, and a half-interest in what is now the Homewood ski area.
