Incorporate Olympic Valley has launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign: Squaw Valley, Help Determine Its Future. The campaign will raise funds to incorporate Olympic Valley.

In 2013, local residents came together to form Incorporate Olympic Valley in order to promote local control of their future. Currently all decisions about municipal service delivery and tax dollars are decided by the Board of Supervisors based in Auburn.

To incorporate, a town must show it is financially viable, receive an approved application by the Placer Local Agency Formation Committee and be placed on a ballot for registered Olympic Valley voters. The residents of Olympic Valley have already raised more than half of the money needed, but to bridge the gap, IOV has launched an Indiegogo campaign to cast a broader fundraising net. All funds raised will be used for expenses such as legal, professional, and other fees associated with completing the state-required process for forming a town.
