2021 Dixie Fire Implementation Strategy for the Recovery & Rebuilding of the Town of Greenville and Canyon Dam (January 2025)

DOWLOAD CPAT REPORT

This 2021 Dixie Fire Implementation Strategy for the Recovery and Rebuilding of the Town of Greenville and Canyon Dam (“Report”) was prepared by the Community Planning Assistance Team (CPAT) of the American Planning Association California Chapter (APACA). The Plumas County Planning Department requested the assistance of the CPAT for the community’s wildfire recovery and rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the Dixie Fire. The Report builds on the vision and concepts for the Greenville Town Center and Canyon Dam as described in the Greenville Town Center Design Guidebook, the Canyon Dam Summary Report, and other resources listed in Appendix B. The Report also reflects input from workshops and meetings attended by the CPAT which are noted in Appendix C. 

The purpose of the Report is to provide guidance to the community on potential approaches, methods, strategies, and priorities for implementing its vision. While the CPAT benefited immensely from community input and a host of organizations and individuals working on recovery efforts (see Acknowledgments), the Report and its Recommendations are the work product of the CPAT and are based on its professional experience and deliberations.

CPAT is a service program of APACA, a non-profit organization operating within the State of California and a chapter of the national American Planning Association. APACA’s CPAT program provides pro bono professional planning assistance to financially constrained municipalities and community groups to help address specific local planning issues. The CPAT Program pairs a multidisciplinary team of experienced planning professionals from around California with community members, stakeholders, and relevant decision makers to foster community education, engagement, and empowerment and promote a sustainable, livable, economically vibrant, and healthy community. Each CPAT team is selected specifically for the expertise needed.
