As we celebrate the #fourthofjuly, our team is taking a much-needed pause and reflecting on the values that are at the core of our country.
Participatory democracy is the cornerstone of our great nation, and -- when it comes to @redrockcanyonlv -- we intend to participate fully. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday. 🇺🇸🎆♥️
Today (July 3, 2024), the County— backed into a legal corner — approved a Development Agreement that allows 3,500 homes (+ commercial spaces) to be built adjacent to Red Rock Canyon NCA.
🥹 Though we were expecting this outcome, we showed up to the meeting anyway to speak our minds and participate in the democratic process.

$80 million dollars of taxpayers’ money is going to a developer in Las Vegas along with an approval to build 3500 houses next to Red Rock National Conservation Area.
The settlement:
- Gives $80M to the developer,
- Allows the County’s approval of a major development project consisting of 3,500 homes (plus commercial spaces) on land adjacent to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area,
- Waives the condition that the developer obtain road approval from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) prior to its approval of the Specific Plan,
- States that the county will assist in seeking a right-of-way grant from the BLM for the primary access road off of SR-160 (Blue Diamond Hwy), and
- Makes the county liable for up to an additional $6M to the developer if BLM does not grant approval within five (5) years.
