The American River is one of our greatest treasures in Placer County. But sadly, every year, someone comes out to enjoy it and then needlessly loses their life. We're grateful for our partnership with the Placer County Sheriff's Office, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) / Placer County Fire Department and California State Parks to help spread this critical safety message through the Be River Wise campaign. Please share this with the loved ones in your life (especially those young folks who still think they're invincible).

"These people don't even know me, but they believed in me. And that's what made me feel that I could do this. I could fight for my life and I could be a mother to this little boy." This year, Mother's Day (May 12) happens to also be the first day of National Prevention Week, which promotes substance misuse prevention and positive mental health. In tandem with these dual observances, our Health and Human Services department is launching a new campaign to promote its perinatal substance use services for expectant and new mothers: https://lnkd.in/gf8G9ufE

Placer County is working on a “getting growth right” strategy in response to forecasts of continued growth in the region. Recent population estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau revealed Placer County gained roughly 5,500 more residents last year, ranking third for population growth among California counties. Recent data provided by ESRI categorized Placer County as a "boomburb." Boomburbs are new growth markets where young professionals have flocked, often drawn by the qualities of spacious living, ample job opportunities and a vibrant suburban lifestyle. These emerging suburban hubs have many of these characteristics: • Well-educated young professionals; 55% are college graduates. • High labor force participation at 71.3%; most households have more than two workers. The county's “getting growth right” initiative is one of five county policy priorities identified to ensure county services keep pace with continued growth in western Placer communities. Acting Placer County Executive Officer Daniel Chatigny recently discussed this commitment at a Greater Sacramento Economic Council event in downtown Roseville: https://lnkd.in/gnkNVZC8 View the ESRI report here: https://lnkd.in/gNFUeZi3
