The
City of South Lake Tahoe invites the community to join us for a groundbreaking
ceremony of the Bijou Marketplace, formerly known as the Bijou Park Creek
Watershed Management project, a.k.a, The Knights Inn and Southwest Corner, on
Monday, August 7th at 2pm.
Bijou Marketplace, LLC, the owner of the project, will be announcing
the primary tenant during a groundbreaking ceremony which will take place on
site at the former Knights Inn and the public is invited to attend.
The
designs for the Bijou Marketplace are a mountain theme, including wood and
stone materials which correspond to the City's Design Guidelines.
The
undevelopable portions of the site are still under the ownership of the City
and planned improvements will increase ecosystem/watershed filtration
processes, restore parcels located in a Stream Environment Zone (SEZ), reduce
nutrients and sediment into Lake Tahoe, reduce localized flooding and initiate
larger watershed restoration efforts.
Expected
attendees include; Bijou Marketplace, LLC, the
primary tenant of Bijou Marketplace (to be announced), City of South Lake Tahoe
elected officials, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, California Tahoe
Conservancy, the Tahoe Chamber and the community of South Lake Tahoe is invited
to attend.
