ANNOUNCEMENTS

Update on a Few Long-Term Recovery Plan Projects

Our recovery after the Camp Fire continues with our community rising above challenges and celebrating successes. Below provides an update on the Early warning System implementation and the Reseeding Program Plan coming soon. 

•  Early Warning System: With the advanced assistance plan completed and approved, the Town is submitting a grant application through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) by the end of the year. Pending approval, construction is estimated to move forward in 2021.

•  Reseeding Program Plan: After an Advanced Assistance HMGP grant approval, the Town will be welcoming proposals in early 2021 from contractors to evaluate and establish next steps for reseeding after tree removal and educating the community on vegetation opportunities. Once a contractor has been established, we anticipate community input and education opportunities throughout 2021. Upon completion of the plan, the Town will seek funding to implement in 2022/2024.

• Broadband Services: We anticipate our Broadband Feasibility Study to be completed and presented in early 2021. This will answer questions about the possibilities we have for a broadband community and what implementation would look like. In the coming years, we will have a focus on establishing implementation opportunities.
