Now, the university’s Tahoe Environmental Research Center may get another home in Placer County’s Tahoe City. At a meeting Tuesday, the Placer County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement with the university to explore transforming three underutilized county-owned buildings in Tahoe City’s town center into a regional science, education and community hub.
