North Las Vegas mayor shares vision for city's growth and renewal
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The city of North Las Vegas held its State of the City address on Thursday. The event focused on the city's accomplishments, upcoming projects, the mayor's vision for the future, and her plan for North Las Vegas to be a 'complete city.'
'A city that provides every opportunity our residents need to prosper and achieve their dreams without ever needing to leave home,' Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown said.
City leaders said their goal is to revitalize the city and keep up with the growth and demand of residents.
'Revitalization in terms of community investment in some of the older parts of our community, in our parks, in law enforcement, in public safety. We're making strategic investments in all those areas,' Mayor Pro Tempore and Councilman for Ward 3 Scott Black said.
In her address, Mayor Goynes-Brown said the city is laying out six strategic goals: innovative, efficient, and stable government; infrastructure enhancement; community safety; economic growth; community health and well-being; and community identity and engagement. Each goal is intended to further invest in the community, including new developments, amenities, and services.
'Lots of downtown redevelopment projects of our VA hospital, of our Tule Springs area,' Mayor Goynes-Brown said. 'Just revitalizing the whole core of the city. Lots more amenities that our residents need and want.'
'With the residents, services they can see, feel, and participate in. Recreation opportunities, investments in parks,' Councilman Black added.
The city also plans to invest in affordable housing for residents and grow safety partnerships across the city to protect the quality of life.
'We want people to feel safe in their neighborhoods… so that people are comfortable and they're proud to call North Las Vegas home,' Mayor Goynes-Brown said.
A home where residents and businesses have opportunities to thrive.
'Just a city where people love to come home, and I just want them to come on home, but they have to have the amenities that they need focusing on living, working, and playing right here in this community so that they never have to leave, ' Mayor Goynes-Brown said.
North Las Vegas is home to nearly 300,000 residents. It is the largest minority-majority city in Nevada and the fastest-growing city in the state.
