Mono County 2023-2024 Annual Report
MESSAGE FROM THE 2024 BOARD CHAIR
Dear Mono County Residents and Visitors,
As we reflect on the past year, it is with pride and optimism that I present the Mono County Board of Supervisors’ 2023-2024 Annual Report. This year has been marked by both challenges and achievements as we continue to adapt and grow as a community.
The winter of 2023 brought historic snowfall to our region, presenting significant challenges in snow removal, road maintenance, and public safety. Despite these hurdles, I am proud of how our county staff and local agencies responded with dedication and resilience, ensuring that our roads were cleared, our emergency services remained responsive, and our residents were supported through the difficulties.
In addition to managing the immediate impacts of extreme weather, we have made substantial progress in key areas that are crucial to Mono County’s long-term success:
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT — We secured funding for major infrastructure projects, including road repairs, bridge improvements, and enhancements to our public facilities. These investments are vital for maintaining the safety and quality of life for all residents and visitors.
HOUSING INITIATIVES — Access to affordable housing continues to be a priority. We’ve launched new programs aimed at increasing housing availability for our workforce and young families. These efforts include partnerships with developers and neighboring jurisdictions to address housing shortages across the region. In addition, we have recently closed escrow on a five-unit development in Bridgeport that will serve as an affordable housing opportunity for county staff and others.
WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS — With the increasing threat of wildfires, we’ve invested heavily in prevention and preparedness. This includes expanded vegetation management programs, enhanced coordination with state and federal agencies, and increased public outreach on fire safety measures.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT — Supporting our local businesses and promoting tourism remains a key focus. This year, we have expanded broadband access to underserved areas and worked closely with business leaders to identify opportunities for growth in tourism, agriculture, and other sectors critical to our local economy.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP — Our natural resources are the foundation of Mono County’s identity. We continue to lead on environmental initiatives, including the protection of our water resources, wildlife habitat conservation, and efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. The Board has also endorsed the expansion of renewable energy projects that align with our values of sustainability.
As we look ahead to 2025 I am confident that together, we can continue building a strong, vibrant, and resilient Mono County. Our community’s strength lies in the collaboration between residents, businesses, and government. I encourage you to stay involved and share your thoughts with the Board as we shape the future of this beautiful place we call home.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Sincerely,
John Peters
2024 Chair, Mono County Board of Supervisors
