Consider adding a strategy or two that promotes partnerships with Boulder City, who is also working in the adventure tourism space.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 12:33PM on page 11

Question
employees in target industries?

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 12:27PM on page 10

Comment
disregard - section is not structured the way i had anticipated.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 12:08PM on page 10

Suggested Revision
Consider changing to "regional" economic development goals. Ideally, regional goals would support local work.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 12:03PM on page 9

Comment
Developing employment centers is a key goal of SNS as well. Suggest comparing COH Vision Map with SNS Activity Centers Analysis for alignment and gaps.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 12:00PM on page 8

Comment
Suggest adding a strategy to support regional efforts for increasing transit funding resources that can help expand and maintain transit outside of existing service areas.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:57AM on page 8

Comment
Suggest adding a strategy that encourages regional coordination in economic development efforts.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:54AM on page 8

Comment
New legislation that requires all commercial land be allowed to be rezoned for residential or mixed-use with residential may limit this ability

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:53AM on page 8

Comment
New legislation that requires all commercial land be allowed to be rezoned for residential or mixed-use with residential may limit this ability.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:41AM on page 5

Question
should this be housing insecure populations? Seems unhoused populations need access to other types of programs, such as treatment and housing re-entry.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:35AM on page 3

Suggested Revision
add "missing middle" to examples

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:32AM on page 3

Comment
Add transit to list of access needs

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:27AM on page 2

Suggested Revision
Consider adding employers to partners list

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:25AM on page 1

Suggested Revision
Add major employment/activity centers to list of opportunities for prioritized density.

Michelle Larime Nov 20 2025 at 11:22AM on page 1

Suggested Revision
Consider changing to "Encourage housing types identified in Southern Nevada Strong as appropriate for all incomes."

Deb Reardon Nov 18 2025 at 9:15AM on page 1

Comment
General comment: Consider highlighting priority strategy in each section to jump-start implementation.

Deb Reardon Nov 17 2025 at 5:57PM on page 3

Suggested Revision
Consider adding proactively changing land use/zoning to support increased density.

Deb Reardon Nov 17 2025 at 5:50PM on page 2

Question
Is there an opportunity to leverage any city-owned vacant or underutilized land for affordable housing? If so, consider adding a strategy here.

Deb Reardon Nov 17 2025 at 5:40PM on page 1

Suggested Revision
Clarify growing demographic group - does this refer to smaller household sizes?

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:20PM on page 13

Question
Isn't Union Village pretty much built out at this point?

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:16PM on page 11

Suggested Revision
I vote we cut the Jewel in the crown portion of this.
in reply to Andy Powell's comment

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:15PM on page 11

Comment
This may come down to whether this is to serve as a stand alone economic development strategy

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:14PM on page 11

Question
are 8.3 and 8.4 the types of strategies we should consider removing? Seem more appropriate for the strategic plan

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:09PM on page 9

Suggested Revision
I would suggest including all uses rather than just retail
in reply to SiteAdmin's comment

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:05PM on page 5

Suggested Revision
If we do that I would suggest we make the language flexible since the key parters can/will evolve over time.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:03PM on page 4

Suggested Revision
reducing, waiving, or subsidizing

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:02PM on page 3

Suggested Revision
"collaborate with..." and research industry best practices "to inform..."

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:00PM on page 3

Suggested Revision
suggestion to add statement about exploring potential incentives to this one.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:59PM on page 3

Suggested Revision
or have planned for these services and amenities in the future. This strategy is about reserving for future development, not building today.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:58PM on page 2

Suggested Revision
I suggest we reach out to OCNP to see if they think this is a given. There may be instances where we should prioritize rehab or extending affordability periods instead, in which case we would delete this strategy imo

Comment
While we should not focus all of our affordable housing attention on BLM sites, we should not ignore that tool either. This is a massive problem that will not be solved by a single tool.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:54PM on page 2

Question
How would we do this?

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:52PM on page 1

Question
Do we need to say low-income if we have already said affordable housing?

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:21PM on page 10

Add strategy that relates back to SNS plan and how success is measures/annual reports.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:17PM on page 8

Infrastructure upgrades needed to support infill.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:16PM on page 10

School District's Facility master plan - may need to rethink use of aging buildings. Broader opportunities for adaptive reuse.

Bill Oct 23 2025 at 1:15PM on page 1

Work with companies who have workforce housing programs (i.e. Amazon link) to bring them to Henderson.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:12PM on page 11

What is our definition of advanced manufacturing? Don't want manufacturing that only uses robots/machines - want businesses with human workforce. Need high-quality jobs for our residents. Comparison with "dark warehouses" in China that don't use lighting because they don't have people working there.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:09PM on page 12

Emphasize businesses retention and expansion. Support the businesses that we already have.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:06PM on page 11

Are the specific strategies that could be developed to work towards each of these targeted industries? I.e. is there a new medical hub? How can we connect these back with the land use map? How can we get more specific?

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:04PM on page 11

Update with info from the Target Industry Study.
Consider what the implications are with AI.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:02PM on page 14

It's important to try to attract new businesses that will hire the local workforce.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:01PM on page 10

Better to compete with other regions as a collaborative team (Denver, Phoenix).

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:00PM on page 10

Could there be more true collaboration between other SNS communities? Competition is always going to happen, but collaboration may open more doors.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:58PM on page 10

Consider adding something to legislative priorities with regard to the intersection of health/economic development.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:54PM on page 5

These strategies were intended to be an action plan that may be too detailed or out of scope for the comp plan.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:46PM on page 6

encampments move as vacant areas are developed. What do we do with the point-in-time homeless data?

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:43PM on page 5

There may be different strategies for different homeless populations; chronic homelessness needs specific resources/strategies vs. recent homeless.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:41PM on page 5

Can we list/do we know who those agencies are? Perhaps, "Identify and partner with..."
