Nevada County brings community partners together to identify legislative priorities

NEVADA CITY, Calif. – From wildfire prevention and affordable housing to maintaining infrastructure and economic development, many of Nevada County’s biggest challenges would benefit from support at the state and federal levels. To strengthen regional advocacy efforts, Nevada County brought together local governments, public agencies, businesses and community organizations in October to identify shared legislative priorities and opportunities to pursue funding. Each year, Supervisors adopt a Legislative Platform to support advocacy for the sustainable delivery of core public services, advance top priority objectives as adopted by the Board of Supervisors, and seek funding for infrastructure needs, capital projects, and programs. One example of the platform in action is the County’s support for Nevada Irrigation District’s grant application for a needed replacement and repairs of the Scotts Flat spillway, built in the 1940s.
