OLYMPIC VALLEY, CA – September 26, 2013

The Residents of Squaw Valley have taken another step towards creating their own town. Placer County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) officially accepted the Petition for Incorporation of the Town of Olympic Valley. On August 20, 2013, Placer Counties Registrar of Voters Certified that petition. The next phase in the incorporation process is to formally submit an application to LAFCO, who will determine if Olympic Valley is eligible and financially viable to become a town. If the application is approved, it will become a ballot measure for Squaw Valley’s registered voters.

A community meeting, presentation and open discussion is planned for Sunday, October 6th at 3:00 pm at Plump Jack Squaw Valley Inn. The purpose of the meeting is to get the community involved with the process of the incorporation.

“This is a big decision for the community and we want to share with everyone what phase of the incorporation process we are at, and what lies ahead. We want to hear the concerns of the people,” said Tom Day,  a 30 year Squaw resident and IOV Member. “We encourage all Squaw Valley residents, homeowners, stakeholders  and all who visit and love Squaw to attend the meeting”.
