Rep. Titus Statement on Red Rock Canyon

Statement

Date: Feb. 22, 2017
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Issues: Environment Housing and Property

Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada's First Congressional District issued the following statement on the Clark County Zoning Commission's decision to approve a 5,025 lot residential development next to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

"The Zoning Commission's decision today is an unfortunate ruling that will benefit a developer at the expense of our planet and community. Like Lake Tahoe in Northern Nevada, Red Rock Canyon is our crown jewel of natural treasures that deserves to be protected and preserved. Its precious ecosystem should not become the victim of light pollution, increased traffic, bulldozers, and dynamite. It should remain a serene and beautiful place for future generations so they can come and enjoy and appreciate its wonder. I have been fighting developments on Blue Diamond Hill for more than 15 years and will continue to be an advocate for Red Rock's conservation."
