About the River Revitalization Steering Committee (R2SC): The River Revitalization Steering Committee was formed in 2023 to create an action plan to guide the revitalization of the river corridor through downtown Truckee. The committee is dedicated to celebrating and honoring the river by creating a plan for activating lands around the river, restoring environmental degradation and providing access and opportunity to interact with the river for the benefit of the entire community.
