Las Vegas Says No To Affordable Housing Project
12 March 2001 - 10:00am
Las Vegas City Council members and residents came out against a proposed affordable housing development citing an absence of open space.
"When American CityVista representatives first approached the city about building an affordable housing complex near West Las Vegas, city officials lauded the group and had visions of new communities being born on vacant lots. But five months after the representatives, along with former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Henry Cisneros, toured prospective sites by bus, city officials and residents are disappointed with what they see on paper."
