Truckee Tomorrow - Phase II
The Truckee Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors recognized the need to identify real business issues as defined by our business community. As a result, Truckee Tomorrow-Phase II (an economic development initiative) was conceived, facilitated by, and is managed by the Truckee Chamber of Commerce in partnership with private investors and the Town of Truckee. This public/private partnership’s overarching goal is to create a diverse economy, while maintaining and growing a diverse, vibrant middle class. The Truckee Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to stepping up to the greatest challenges in our community, acting as: Catalyst for business growth, Convener of leaders & influencers to get things done, Champion for a thriving community.
In January 2018, the Truckee Chamber launched Business Speaks, convening the business community at quarterly gatherings to identify the greatest challenges facing the local business community and develop creative solutions. Through input from over 625 businesses over the course of 32 Business Speaks meetings, three projects were identified to tackle the issue of recruitment and retention, and address the overarching goal:
Develop an Employer Co-op - designed to help employers find workers to fill jobs
Growing Our Own- expanding on existing programs and identify creative opportunities for internships/apprenticeships
Develop Truckee as an Entrepreneur Ecosystem - a long-term, forward-thinking approach to diversifying Truckee’s economy.
The Trilogy of Economic Development Initiatives:
In addition to the Business Speaks program, and projects in development as a result of those meetings, Truckee Tomorrow - Phase II includes:
Quality of Life surveys - annual surveys that measure and track community sentiment about living in Truckee
Socio-Economic Indicators - a central portal for key metrics that matter most to Truckee Citizens, in one easy place online, establishing baseline information to be measured annually to identify upward and downward trends that impact quality of life for Truckee citizens.
Photography
Truckee.com would not express our Truckee lifestyle without the heart, talent, passion and generosity of our local photographers - in addition to the many businesses and Public-Private Partners who donated imagery.
