Change is coming to Truckee, and community leaders are trying to make sure the town is ready.
More people moved into Truckee over the last year than in the last decade, according to the United States Postal Service’s change of address data.
“There’s a big conversation happening in Nevada County about how are we going to meet the needs of our new full-time residents, our existing full-time residents and our visitors, because the engine of our economy is that visitor basis,” said District 5 Supervisor Hardy Bullock.
Since 2010, Truckee’s population increased by 545, totaling 16,735 in 2019, according to the US Census Bureau. In 2020 the town surpassed that total between April and July alone, adding nearly 1,000 residents through the entire year.
