South Lake Tahoe on June 5 released the Vacation Home Rental Socioeconomic Impact report completed by Michael Baker International.

The city paid for the study in order to identify emerging impacts, particularly impacts that may be directly affecting residents and people who work in the city. The goal was to examine the range of factors that may be influenced by the growth of the sharing economy, and evaluate the socioeconomic impacts of those factors.

The City Council will have a special workshop June 13 at 9am at Lake Tahoe Airport for the consulting team to make a presentation and summarize the report, and go over policies they suggest. 

The report is available online.
