Shasta County

Shasta County's population will swell from 180,000 residents today to over 330,000 residents by the year 2050.  Here you will find four unique approaches for accomodating new growth and development, called 'scenarios'. 

The 'Current Trend' scenario represents Shasta County in the year 2050 under existing trends, policies, and practices.  Scenarios A, B, and C are community-driven alternative growth scenarios.

Maps, descriptions, and performance measures help paint a picture of what each future scenario might look like, highlight the tradeoffs between different strategies, and help residents measure the impacts on daily living.

Picture yourself in each scenario and then tell us what you think using the online survey.  Your input will be used to build a 'Preferred Regional Growth Vision' for Shasta County. 

Together, we're moving Shasta Forward.

Scenarios >>
The ShastaFORWARD>> visioning process is the first of its kind in the North State.

Because many of the concepts and methods are new, we're working to make the process more approachable and accessible.

Here you will find the most recent mapping outputs and performance measures - each designed to 'tell the story' of what growth will mean in the Shasta region.
