Growth Task
Force to Hold Evening Forum on Dec. 14
If you want to learn more about Clark County’s Community
Growth Management Initiative, you may want to attend a
special public forum on Tuesday, Dec. 14, 5:30 p.m.
in the Mead Conference Room of the Las Vegas Valley Water
District, 1001 S. Valley View Blvd
The
meeting is being held in the evening to accommodate the
schedules of residents who can’t attend the Growth Task
Force’s regular meetings, usually held the last Tuesday of
every month at noon in the theater of Winchester Community
Center at 3130 McCleod Drive.
“Everyone
has an opinion about growth,” said Commissioner Bruce
Woodbury. “In the next few months, the Growth Task Force
will be finishing its work and submitting recommendations to
the County Commission for consideration. This forum is a
special chance for citizens to be heard.”

The
public forum will include a presentation to update attendees
on the work of the Growth Task Force to date. The County
Commission organized a 17-member task force in March to
launch a valley-wide discussion about growth. The task force
is studying growth issues in depth, including urban design,
natural resources, public facilities planning and
intergovernmental coordination.
In
the spring of 2005, the task force is scheduled to submit a
list of recommendations to the commission to help the
community balance the demands of living in the
fastest-growing region in the country with protecting and
enhancing the valley’s quality of life
“It’s
not easy to wrap your arms around such a broad topic because
growth affects so many facets of our life in Clark
County,” said Commissioner Rory Reid. “We want to look
at the pros and cons of ideas and come up with a menu of
tools that are likely to work best for our community.”
All
Growth Task Force meetings are videotaped for rebroadcast on
Clark County Television (CCTV) cable Channel 4. Air dates
and times for the Dec. 14 meeting include Thursday, Dec. 16
at 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 11 at 11:30 a.m.; and
Sunday, Dec. 12 at 4 p.m.
