County to begin studying replacement project for Tahoe Justice Center

This week, the Placer County Board of Supervisors took another step toward modernizing the Tahoe Justice Center and Placer County Sheriff’s Office North Lake Tahoe Station, authorizing staff to begin land use consulting and project planning and entitlements to facilitate the design of the project to replace the facilities. The approved contract for the consultant work is to not exceed $500,000.
