Group Tries to Halt Development of Resort

A citizens group has filed suit against the town of Truckee in an effort to stop development of the 900-acre Old Greenwood resort.

The Mountain Area Preservation Foundation said in a lawsuit filed last week that the town did not comply with state planning, zoning and environmental laws in approving the project.

The suit says that the town's general plan lacks required standards for an "open-space recreation" designation, which covers most of the resort, and that the project itself doesn't follow the general plan.
