County to discuss growth plan options with local cities

As Clark County prepares to update its Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, officials are reaching out to local cities to identify areas for future residential and non-residential uses. Planners are following a medium-growth scenario, coupled with a push to improve area job prospects – a direction chosen by the Clark County Board of Commissioners.

“The jobs target is very aggressive and will require an adequate supply of land designated for non-residential uses,” said Oliver Orjiako, community planning director, in a press release. “We also will need capital facilities plans to support the build out and meet goals for economic development.”

Alternative proposals will be available for public review and comment this fall, before commissioners consider any formal actions to update the growth plan.
