Supervisor Miller's Priorities
Each year, the Board of Supervisors adopts a set of objectives to guide county operations, programs, and services. Learn more about Supervisor Miller's work on these and other priorities below.
Rural County Advocacy
California’s rural communities play a crucial role in supporting the world’s fifth largest economy. In addition, rural counties feed the state, nation and globe. The vast majority of water consumed by California residents, agricultural producers and industry originate in California’s rural communities. And rural counties are home to stunning national parks and forests, mountains, deserts and the Pacific Ocean. Through his work with the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), Supervisor Miller advocates for the interests of rural counties.
Areas of focus in RCRC's 2022-2025 strategic plan:
- Wildfire prevention and forest resiliency
- Drought and water resiliency
- High-speed internet ("broadband")
- Housing and health services
- Transportation
Broadband Access
Equitably expand broadband to support economic development, distance-learning, telework, telemedicine, and general quality of life for all residents by championing the implementation of Nevada County Broadband Strategy Plan policies and last-mile infrastructure projects.
Supervisor Miller advocates for the interests of rural counties through his representation of the county on the board of Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC).
