Growth and power projects fuel Southern Nevada expansion
In Clark County the Southern Nevada Water Project and Pacific Northwest Pacific Southwest Intertie are framed as vital for future growth. The water project aims to supply Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City by 1976 with full needs met by 2010. The intertie promises power resilience, with Hoover Dam as a major West Coast terminus and a $48 million substation near Boulder City. Local leaders stress federal funding for regional development and the era’s expansive optimism in Las Vegas, “El Dorado of the desert.”
