Make It Paradise

On the morning of November 8th, the Town of Paradise and the unincorporated communities of Concow and Magalia were forever changed by the Camp Fire. It was the most destructive and deadliest wildfire in California history. The Town and County immediately affirmed their commitment to rebuild.

A generous gift of UDA’s planning services was given to the Town of Paradise by the Butte Strong Fund. We feel privileged to be assisting the residents and stakeholders as they create a vison for rebuilding their town and their lives.

The Town-led process will result in a Community Recovery Plan. The planning process will have four steps:

• Relieving Pressure

• Listening

• Testing

• Deciding

We look forward to working with the residents of the ridge to help build a more resilient community.
