CONCLUSION

In Tuolumne County, we live in one of the most spectacular places in the world. We benefit from clean air and water, and bountiful recreational and cultural opportunities. We face challenges similar to other rural areas. We have limited access to high-speed communication technology, and a shortage of benefited, living-wage paying jobs. Our public agencies and nonprofit organizations face decreasing funding and increasing demand.

We pride ourselves as a community that continuously works together to improve our quality of life. We know each other and face our challenges together openly and creatively.
