The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has published the winter 2019 edition of Tahoe in Depth. The award-winning newspaper, in its seventh year of publication, strives to provide residents, visitors, and policymakers with information about protecting, enjoying, and exploring the Lake Tahoe Basin.
The winter 2019 edition cover story features a birthday celebration with the article “TRPA Turns 50.” In December of 1969, President Richard M. Nixon signed the TRPA compact into law. “We are all in it together, and we all need to be part of solutions for Lake Tahoe,” said Joanne S. Marchetta, TRPA’s executive director.
