After decades of effort, Sierra County Planning Director Brandon Pangman, announced during the Board of Supervisors’ meeting Tuesday, May 5th in Downieville that they finally received confirmation from the United States Postal Office that Verdi is getting a zip code.
The zip code will be an extension of Floriston’s 96111 and are waiting on a final map.
Pangman thanked Sierra County Planner Corri Jimenez for her persistence on this project and who previously lived in Verdi knowing the struggles of those getting mail and deliveries with a Nevada zip code.
In other reports, Pangman stated the Planning Commission adopted a resolution to clean up inconsistencies in the general plan and zoning in Long Valley. He met with residents March 20th and received a general consensus to keep the entire Long Valley in agricultural and nothing else.
Public Works Director Josh Handel reported the Sierra City Transfer Station already had four piles of green waste and recommended residents bring waste as soon as they could.
Handel stated they repaired the boiler at Sierraville School by replacing the igniter. He explained the tank had been drained and is rusting from the inside. At some point they will need to replace it.
