Tahoe Fund is launching a fundraising campaign to fill a $200,000 funding gap in California Tahoe Conservancy’s efforts to demolish the Motel 6 building, restaurant and parking lot that sit within the Upper Truckee River watershed in South Lake Tahoe.
The Motel 6 property and surrounding 31 acres were acquired in March 2024 by California Tahoe Conservancy with funding from the conservancy, California Wildlife Conservation Board, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Tahoe Fund and League to Save Lake Tahoe. Following the demolition and removal of the motel infrastructure, planning work will commence on the restoration of the lands.
In addition, this project advances the 2012 Lake Tahoe Regional Plan and Environmental Improvement Program by removing aging development from sensitive land and retiring or transferring development rights to town centers. | tahoefund.org/motel6
