Truckee Sawmill: When Size Does Matter
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.More crowds! More traffic congestion in Truckee!
The Sawmill and Glu-Lam Factory – and a steady flow of Logging Trucks – will create more dangerous traffic on 89 N – Keep Truckee Livable.
A 60-mph,double-trailer log truck every 7 min and 22 sec on Hwy 89!
The proposed 8-acre Alpenglow Sawmill is an Industrial Facility that will change the character of Truckee and turn Hwy 89 into a Loggers Road – creating more traffic congestion & dangerous road conditions – it will acutely forever change and damage the Prosser Lake Estates, Russell Valley, and Klondike Flat neighborhoods.
The Sawmill& Glu-Lam Factory Project is a huge 8-acre industrial complex:
4.5-acre area with log decks for log storage with a very loud “debarker”
48,000 ft2 Sawmill With a Very Loud Saw9,600 ft2 Workshop
15,000 ft2 Firewood Storage
9,600 ft2 Wood Storage
6,000 ft2 Boiler Plant Building
3,000 ft2 Dry Kilns
Truck Scales
Parking for 34 Employee Vehicles
1,125 ft2 Hazardous Fuel Storage (Used, Relocated Tanks)
Conveyor Infeed: South Side Of Sawmill Building
Oh yeah! The second phase is a Glu-Lam & Truss Beam Factory!
This Project is in the Wrong Location!
The project’s 8-acre footprint is massive and bigger than eight (8) large supermarkets –bigger than a 1,000 vehicle stadium parking lot. This land-use is inconsistent with any business or operation in Truckee and in the region.
