Southern Nevada Development & Conservation: Land for Tribes, Parks, & Public Safety
This act aims to transfer land to the Moapa Band of Paiutes and Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, potentially impacting their development. It modifies public land management rules in Clark County, including parks and conservation areas, which may affect recreational access and infrastructure development. Additionally, the act conveys land to local governments for public purposes such as safety, water supply, and training facilities, potentially improving public services for residents.
Key points
The Moapa Band of Paiutes and Las Vegas Paiute Tribe will receive land to be held in trust as part of their reservations, potentially supporting their economic development, but without gaming eligibility on these specific lands.
Conservation areas like Red Rock Canyon and Sloan Canyon will see boundary adjustments, and new special management areas will be established to protect natural resources, which may affect land access and usage.
Clark County and cities including Boulder City, Mesquite, Moapa Valley Water District, and North Las Vegas will receive land for public purposes, such as public safety facilities, water infrastructure, and recreational areas, potentially enhancing local services.
New off-highway vehicle recreation areas will be established, providing designated spaces for enthusiasts while also aiming to protect other natural resources.
The act extends the Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, aiming to balance development with the protection of endangered species.
