(Chester, CA) – Plumas County recently launched its ROCE (Recharge Our Community’s Economy) Workshop Series with a successful kickoff event on September 3rd. The gathering brought together local leaders, business owners, and residents from the Lake Almanor Basin and surrounding areas, all committed to shaping a vibrant, resilient local economy.
This first workshop marked a strong beginning in a series of hands-on, community-led sessions designed to craft a long-term economic development plan tailored to the unique strengths and needs of the Lake Almanor Basin. Funded by a county grant, the ROCE initiative follows a proven model for identifying local assets, mapping demand, and connecting the dots between talent, businesses, and real opportunities.
