Planning commission backs big Squaw Valley expansion plan
– canadianbusiness.com
KINGS BEACH, Calif. – The Placer County Planning Commission is recommending approval of a sweeping, controversial development plan at a California ski resort in the Sierra north of Lake Tahoe.
Nearly 100 people offered public comment before the panel voted 4-2 in Kings Beach Thursday night to approve the Squaw Valley expansion project and forward it to the county commission for final consideration.
If approved, Squaw Valley Real Estate would be allowed to add nearly 1,500 motel rooms, condos, time shares and retail space in Olympic Valley over the next 25 years at an estimated cost of up to $1 billion.
Plans also call for construction of a 90,000-square foot indoor adventure centre and water park at the resort that hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics.
Opponents say the project will generate too much pollution, traffic and noise.
Critics including California Attorney General Kamala Harris say the increased traffic also would threaten public safety by raising the risk of traffic accidents, especially in Squaw Valley where just one road connects the valley to Highway 89 south of Truckee…

Weekend Reading – Shame on some advisors, rich Vancouverites, tools for retirement and more

Learn, save, invest and prosper with My Own Advisor.
Welcome to your Weekend Reading, over a coffee or a beer or a glass of wine this weekend.
Earlier this week I shared how I would manage a $1 million portfolio and for the first time ever on this site, I shared what I thought might be an age whereby we could achieve financial freedom.
To clarify, “freedom journey” this is not about us leaving the workforce for good, cold turkey. It’s about providing more choices regarding how we work, where we work and what we work at. Plans are always estimates about the future, based on what you know and what you don’t know. This makes plans subject to change and we’re open to those changes – but I think it’s important to have some goals to strive towards even if the future is unknown; things associated with family, relationships, career, finance and so on. Anyhow, drop me a comment or an email and let me know what you think about plans shared on this site or in general.
Enjoy your weekend!
