Good morning, Redding.

A local nonprofit broke ground on a new homeless housing facility yesterday in Redding to help people experiencing homelessness in Shasta County.

On March 20, a 31-year-old splitboarder suffering from altitude sickness on Mount Shasta was rescued when local climbers + rescue teams helped guide him down from Avalanche Gulch to Bunny Flat.

Redding is one of HGTV’s 30 Best Up-and-Coming Small Cities after rising wages and job growth push the city forward.

Community leaders say the recognition highlights benefits like lower living costs and less traffic.

Gas stations in Northern California showed rising prices on March 23 as Action News Now reported from Chico; regular gasoline averaged $5.57 in Butte, $5.48 in Shasta, $5.42 in Tehama, and $5.72 in Glenn.

The Forest Service will conduct two significant prescribed burns in the McCloud area this week, weather permitting.
