Lake Tahoe area projects are recipients of Propositions 84 grant dollars for rivers and parkways, it was announced Sept. 14.

Proposition 84 was approved in 2006. The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act authorizes $5.388 billion in general obligation bonds to fund safe drinking water, water quality and supply, flood control, waterway and natural resource protection, water pollution and contamination control, state and local park improvements, public access to natural resources, and water conservation efforts.
