    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 29, 2020 MEDIA CONTACTS: Sue Christiansen, RTC, (702) 676-1891 office, [email protected] Catherine Lu, RTC, (702) 676-1788 office, [email protected] RTC opens community comment period for feedback on upcoming transit service changes Click to Tweet: .@RTCSNV opens 60-day comment period to gather community input on system-wide transit service changes. Find all details at https://www.rtcsnv.com/ways-to-travel/schedules-maps/2020-transit-service- change/ LAS VEGAS – The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is experiencing a severe drop in transit funding as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To adjust for this loss in revenue, while continuing to provide critically needed transportation, the RTC is considering making system-wide service changes that would go into effect in fall 2020. The community is encouraged to provide input on proposed changes including route eliminations, routing adjustments and schedule changes during a 60-day comment period. “Our public transportation system is facing the same financial uncertainty that businesses and communities across the country are experiencing when it comes to providing essential services with reduced budgets,” said Francis Julien, RTC deputy CEO. “We know this is a very difficult time for our community as we continue to grapple with so many unknowns, especially as it relates to providing public transportation to our community. So before we make any transit service changes, we need to hear from you. We are making efforts to reach out and provide information in many different ways, and we hope we will get valuable feedback from riders and non-riders alike.” The public comment period will remain open through Friday, August 28.

  • City of Las Vegas Economic and Urban Development Department & Redevelopment Agency
    012014 City of Las Vegas Economic and Urban Development Department & Redevelopment Agency Economic and Urban Development Department The Economic and Urban Development Department creates, coordinates and encourages new development and redevelopment throughout the city of Las Vegas. It increases and diversifies the city’s economy and creates jobs through business attraction, retention and expansion programs. This expanded department now includes the Parking Division. The newly reorganized and consolidated Parking Division has begun work on modernizing parking meters, online customer service, downtown parking locator assistance and aiding developers with their parking-related plans. The EUD coordinates with the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) on day-to-day operations, economic development, job creation and long-term strategic goals. Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency The Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) promotes the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas and surrounding older commercial districts by working with developers, property owners and the community to accomplish beneficial revitalization efforts, create jobs and eliminate urban decay. The city of Las Vegas currently has two designated redevelopment areas. Redevelopment Area 1 encompasses 3,948 acres. The area roughly includes the greater downtown Las Vegas area east of I-15, south of Washington Avenue, north of Sahara Avenue and west of Maryland Parkway. It also includes the Charleston Boulevard, Martin L. King Boulevard and Eastern Avenue corridors. A new Redevelopment Area 2 (RDA 2) was officially adopted during the Aug. 15, 2012 meeting of the Las Vegas City Council. The RDA 2 designation gives the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency the powers to redevelop, rehabilitate and revitalize this area. This new RDA 2 designation also allows the Redevelopment Agency to provide qualified owners/operators with certain business incentives.

  • Real Estate Deck 2017
    ABOUTWE ASPIRE TO BEUS FIRST, UNIQUE, OR BEST IN EVERYTHING WE DO. Downtown Project was founded in January 2012 with the idea that if you accelerate co-learning, collisions, and connectedness in the city’s urban core, productivity, innovation, growth, and happiness will fall into place. Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh made a personal investment of $350 million toward helping with the revitalization of part of downtown Las Vegas. His investment became Downtown Project, which has allocated roughly $200 million in real estate and development, $50 million in small businesses, $50 million in technology and startups through VTF Capital, and $50 million in arts and culture, education, and healthcare. A large portion of our investment was allocated toward real estate and development in the Fremont East/East Village districts of downtown Las Vegas. We own approximately 45 acres, and we’re activating our holdings in an organic way, rather than through a top-down master plan. We’ve purposely activated buildings that are not directly next to one another in order to encourage people to walk a little farther into the neighborhood, which increases opportunities for collisions. The roughly $200 million to real estate and development includes approximately 45 acres of land in and around the Fremont East and East Village districts, and approximately 11 businesses that we wholly own and operate. So far we’ve invested in approximately 50 small businesses ranging from restaurants, bars, and a microbrewery to retail, including a bookstore, a record store/recording studio, and a toy store. Downtown Project has also invested in services, from a membership-based dog park and doggie day care to an app-based laundry and dry cleaning business.

Nevada found itself at a crossroads of national and regional developments. While awash with gold, silver, and other minerals, it took the emergence of a national system of transportation and national markets to capitalize those ore deposits, and by so doing vitalize what was an arid and sparsely populated region.
