Failed Tahoe City condo project returning to marshland
By Ed Fletcher, Sacramento Bee
Bulldozers aren’t typically welcome sights around Lake Tahoe, but just outside Tahoe City they’re being used by construction workers and engineers to restore the natural habitat – not disturb it.
The project calls for turning 35 North Shore acres prepared for a failed condominium development back into natural marshland.
At $2.6 million, the project is one of 700 identified in the Tahoe basin aimed at rectifying environmental wrongs.
Approximately 300 projects of varying complexity have been completed, officials said.
