WHAT WE DO
SUSTAINABLE RECREATION AND ECOSYSTEM
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Sustainable Recreation and Ecosystem Management Program (SREMP) is a vision to unite the jurisdictions of the Eastern Sierra to implement coordinated projects integrating responsible ecosystem management, natural resource conservation, sustainable outdoor recreation, and economic development using the best available science and planning processes to strengthen all communities in the Eastern Sierra in their pursuits of more resilient and sustainable communities.
COMMUNITY ECONOMIC RESILIENCY
The Community Economic Resiliency is a statewide program that was created to promote a sustainable and equitable recovery from the economic distress of COVID-19 by supporting new plans and strategies to diversify local economies and develop sustainable industries that create high-quality, broadly accessible jobs for all Californians.
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS STUDY
The Eastern Sierra Council of Governments (ESCOG), in collaboration with Mono County, Inyo County, the Town of Mammoth Lakes, and the City of Bishop, is conducting a comprehensive regional housing needs study. This initiative aims to address the growing housing challenges in our communities by gathering data, engaging residents and stakeholders, and identifying strategies for implementable workforce housing solutions.
INYO-MONO BROADBAND CONSORTIUM
The Inyo Mono Broadband Constorium (IMBC) was established to facilitate expansion and adoption of broadband technology in the Eastern Sierra region. The Eastern Sierra Council of Governments (ESCOG) was awarded a California Advanced Services Fund Grant for the IMBC. The IMBC will facilitate the deployment of broadband services in Inyo and Mono counties by assisting with project development, grant applications, and projects related to state broadband programs.
EASTERN SIERRA SUSTAINABLE
