Placer County looking to redevelop Tahoe City land

Placer County is ready to reinvent the Tahoe City firehouse properties near Commons Beach.

The county is looking for a mixed-use development firm or other interested parties to enter a long-term lease and redevelopment the properties.

The county-owned Tahoe City firehouse properties include three buildings: the former North Tahoe Fire Station 51, Tahoe Community Center building and the former visitor center building.

Through a series of community workshops earlier this year, county staff and stakeholders developed a list of guiding principles to be used as the basis for the development of any project. Some of these principles include: creating a new space for bringing people together; providing economic return to the community and county; improving water quality and scenic conditions; being financially sustainable and providing flexible space allowing a variety of uses depending on time of year or day.
