Commissioner Alexis Hill briefs CAB on wildfire response and a possible RHA housing project
Summary
Commissioner Alexis Hill updated the CAB on county wildfire response and summarized a Tahoe Transportation District meeting where Reno Housing Authority described potential reuse of an old elementary school for mixed housing; she said a federal agency review will inform the TTD's decision.
Washoe County Commissioner Alexis Hill joined the Citizens Advisory Board remotely to give a brief update on county wildfire response and regional transportation and housing discussions.
"Washoe County obviously has been very busy with these fires, and we appreciate everyone's, understanding," Hill said, adding that county staff are "all hands on deck" and available to help residents. Hill also reported on a recent Tahoe Transportation District meeting where the Reno Housing Authority presented preliminary ideas for rehabilitating an old elementary school site for mixed-use housing and described potential next steps if the federal review is favorable.
On the housing question, Hill said the timeline depends on a pending federal letter and review. "There is a letter being worked out to see if they are, amiable to the… project," she said, noting the Tahoe Transportation District would act after the federal agency responds and that Reno Housing Authority would lead public outreach. Hill also said deed-restricted and attainable-housing rules often require employment in the basin for some units, a detail she cited when answering questions from CAB members concerned about prioritizing local workers.
