From Public Golf Course to Mixed-Income Community: Innovative Infill Development in East Las Vegas
This session will include a robust discussion between city staff, elected officials, developers, and local and national consultants working to deliver new and innovative infill development solutions essential to the long-term success of Las Vegas. The session will include brief presentations by each of our panelists, offering a diverse perspective of the history, context, current conditions, ambitions of the project, and work across public and private sectors to make this project successful. This project is the result of intentional and extensive bilingual community engagement, creative partnerships, and a commitment to resilient development that helps some of the city's most vulnerable populations. The city of Las Vegas is leveraging its control of the 100-acre Desert Pines Golf Course in East Las Vegas to drive several community-driven goals, providing opportunities to incentivize affordable infill housing, embracing Latino culture through placemaking and design, partnering with education, and focusing on workforce training, increasing accessible park space, and developing a transit-oriented and walkable project.
