City planner critiques state role in West Las Vegas survey
WLV Planning Director Don Saylor says the state did not seek city input on an economic survey plan for West Las Vegas and he sees no effort to override the city. Otis Harris, tied to the SCLC, was hired by the State Department of Economic Development to lead industrial planning, with city consultation lacking though the plan could align with the master plan. The city would require formal commission approval for any nonconforming actions, and funding comes via federal money routed through the state. The city has urged the state to coordinate use of these funds moving forward.
