Truckee is having an open house June 27 to gather input on the future use of the McIver Dairy site.

The town obtained  landscape architecture consultant Callander Associates to develop alternative conceptual drawings which include various public uses on this site. These will be presented at the workshop.

The McIver Dairy site, located at 10755 Donner Pass Road, has a rich history in Truckee, providing a source of premium butter for much of the West Coast in the late 1800s and early 1900s. More recently the site has been dubbed by some as the unofficial Truckee sled hill. Currently, the Truckee River Watershed Council is undertaking a grant-funded ecological restoration project of the wetland and meadow portions of the site.

As the landowner, the town is interested in providing safe and environmentally compatible access to the site and seeking how best to use this public space.

The open house will include discussion of existing conditions on the site and new recreation and wetland/meadow interpretation opportunities.

The open house will take place at town council chambers, 10183 Truckee Airport Road from 5:30-7:30pm.
