The event brings together residents, business leaders and regional partners to reflect on accomplishments and look ahead to the future. This year’s event carries added significance as Placer County marks 175 years since its founding. County workers have created a series of special events throughout the county this year to celebrate the historic milestone..

“Placer County’s success is driven by the people who call it home,” said Landon. “As we continue to grow our economy, protect our natural resources, and prioritize public safety, we have much to celebrate, and even more to look forward to.”

A growing and vibrant county

Placer County remains one of the fastest-growing counties in California, with a population now exceeding 430,000 residents. The region continues to attract new businesses and families, drawn by an excellent quality of life, high-performing schools and an array of outdoor recreation opportunities.

Protecting open space is vital and thanks to the Placer County Conservation Program, it continues to prosper. To date, the program has preserved more than 9-thousand acres across West Placer County, ensuring that natural landscapes remain a defining feature of the region for generations to come.

New investments

Over the past year, Placer County has made significant investments in roads, transit and public facilities to meet the needs of the next generation. The county has also expanded access to essential services, including housing, health care and behavioral health programs, ensuring that residents have the support they need to thrive.

Public safety remains a top priority, with expanded service levels in law enforcement and increased efforts by our forestry and fire officials to reduce wildfire risk and build more resilient communities. Placer County has also increased its investment in defensible space programs, forest health initiatives and emergency preparedness.

Celebrating a milestone

As part of the presentation, Landon will highlight the county’s rich history over the last 175 years, while looking ahead to the next chapter.

Attendees are encouraged to purchase a ticket in advance of the State of the County. Breakfast will be provided as attendees learn more about county initiatives, connect with local leaders and celebrate the shared accomplishments that make Placer County a great place to live, work and play.
