Tahoe chambers to take road trip to see why other areas function better

Tourism, transportation and the environment will be among the topics explored during the Pathways to Prosperity Trek being organized by Lake Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce in partnership with North Lake Tahoe Chamber of Commerce and the Tahoe Prosperity Center.

Basin business and civic leaders will travel by bus to Monterey Bay, Livermore and Sacramento in an effort to learn how other communities have succeeded in their quest for prosperity and environmental sustainability. The communities to be visited have faced similar challenges to those in the Lake Tahoe Basin, including moving a highway, sub-standard wages, high unemployment, environmental challenges and diverse populations with disparate interests.

The trip is June 5-7.

Space is limited. Reserve your space by calling (775) 588.1728. The cost is $650 per person. Deposit and registration are due May 24 with final payment due May 31. For those willing to share a room there is a $100 reduction in cost.
