The Local Lens – Important Development Meetings

UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENTS IN INCLINE VILLAGE AND CRYSTAL BAY

I have enjoyed watching the progress of Natural Grocers on Tahoe Boulevard as I drive by it every day. It now looks like a mid-late July opening for this health-oriented grocery store. Driving further along Tahoe Blvd, I see progress with the expansion of Bite and the Bar La Loca (still not open) replacing FredRicks. John Kasden, property owner for Incline Plaza and Aspen Plaza,  also reports a Pottery store in Aspen Plaza. Check It out!

Our casino resorts provide jobs for locals and contribute to a healthy economy that can support other local businesses.  News on this front:

• Nine 47 Tahoe, the luxury condo project on the corner of Tahoe Blvd and Southwood, will complete the Washoe County permitting process this week, but will break ground next spring. They have completed the TRPA process.
• Revitalize Cal Neva is moving along this summer with some initial historic preservation, structural repair, and environmental remediation. The site work this summer is related to getting the property ready for more extensive work next spring/summer toward the goal of opening in time for its 100th anniversary in December 2026. The McWhinney group, the owners, are working hard to engage the community every step of the way toward re-creating the lodge-style resort that existed in the 1940s… with a modern twist, of course. This cultural heart of the North Shore has been dormant for too long, and the vision is to transform the iconic place into a vibrant destination for the community and visitors to gather and celebrate. The open house at Bowl Incline earlier this month was widely attended by the community. Stay updated: www.revitalizecalneva.com
• The Hyatt redevelopment is currently limited to the completion of the beautiful(and tasty) Osteria Sierra, originally the Sierra Café. The Hive restaurant and bar is open for the season! Boats, jet skis and kayaks can be rented at the Hyatt  through Lake Tahoe Luxury Boat Rentals
• The Waldorf Astoria resort in Crystal Bay is on hold indefinitely as it works through refinancing.

INCLINE IN BLOOM…..

It’s a beautiful early spring. Share your photos of the perennials around town – SEND photos to info@ivcba.org. No need to go to Reno for flowers…check out High Sierra Gardens. Take your kids or grandchildren to walk along the creek that runs through their property. They get new blooms every week. Grocery Outlet and Raleys have been stocking flowers too.

Have you noticed all of the benches and outdoor seating throughout town? Raleys has installed seating just outside Starbucks, Sunshine Deli has a sweet dining spot across the parking lot, Crosby’s is legendary, and I LOVE the outdoor area at Happy Tiers. What’s your favorite spot? 

PATRIOTIC DÉCOR

Tis the season to get out your flags and bunting to show your pride in our country. Local Heroes 4^th of July Celebration is coming up fast: July 2-4. Find all of the details on IVCBA.org. Yes, there are fireworks this year!

Congrats to the Incline High School graduating class of 2024!
