Update on Ongoing and New Incline Village Main Street Projects

OCTOBER UPDATE

Incline Village Main Street is a revitalization and redevelopment program affiliated with Nevada Main Street as well as Main Street America. Its strategic priorities are economic vitality, civic engagement, and community initiatives. It is organized under the auspices of the IVCBA community and business organization. Go to IVCBA.org/programs/mainstreet for more information.

“Our community deserves a revitalized look that reflects the natural beauty of our environment….Together we create a thriving community that benefits everyone.” Linda Offerdahl, Executive Director

The Sierra Giving Circle has been launched to fund beautification projects. An inaugural dinner, Roots to Revitalization, jump-started the campaign, raising over $100,000 that was matched by one of the donors, for a total of $200,000+.  This funding will be used for the Gateway Roundabout Improvements and community projects such as the “gathering place” at Crosbys.

A newsbrief about the Sierra Giving Circle will be released shortly, with a call for more donations from the community. Charitable donations are tax deductible as allowed by law through our partner Incline Tahoe Foundation, EIN 27-0823168. 

To join the Sierra Giving Circle, go to inclinetahoe.org/sierracircle. 

Checks may be sent to Incline Tahoe Foundation, 948 Incline Way, Incline Village, NV 89451.

DANCING WITH DAFFODILS

Planting fall bulbs for early spring blooming is the latest project for Inclined to Bloom. Our goal is to plant 15,000 yellow daffodil bulbs. We will be reaching out to our network of property managers and landscapers, but residents are encouraged to buy bulbs and plant them themselves along some of our downtown streets that could use beautification. To volunteer to plant bulbs, please reach out to Linda@IVCBA.org. To help us buy 15,000 bulbs, donate at Incline Tahoe Foundation – Inclined to Bloom.

NORTHERN LIGHTS HOLIDAY LIGHTING

IVCBA installed holiday lighting along Tahoe Blvd in 2021 as part of Northern Lights, a month-long celebration in December. Now in our fifth year, we maintain these lights for Holiday Lighting and look for new lighting opportunities. A lighting contest encourages businesses and residents to decorate! To help us light up the Village, please donate to Incline Tahoe Foundation – Northern Lights

GATEWAY ROUNDABOUT IMPROVEMENTS

Gateway Roundabout Improvements project is moving forward with NDOT. Preliminary(30%completion) plans have met with only minor changes from NDOT!

WALKABILITY

A “gathering place”, complete with Adirondack chairs, has been created below Crosby’s in Christmas Tree Village, thanks to Russell Jones, owner of Crosby’s,  Tony Robinson, property manager for Christmas Tree Village, and High Sierra Gardens.

Inclined to Bloom successfully beautified Incline with hanging baskets and terra cotta pots at the bus shelters(thanks to Rotary.)

I want to thank everyone for their support. When the agencies see community support like this, they want to be helpful. We garnered feedback and ideas for over a year before deciding to move forward with the Gateway Roundabout improvements. Businesses have been so cooperative with Inclined to Bloom; what Crosbys/Christmas Tree Village has done is inspiring others as well.  Stay tuned!
