Summary of Proceedings

Clark County Redevelopment Agency and Board of Commissioners Meeting - July 22, 2026

The Clark County Redevelopment Agency and Board of Commissioners met on July 22, 2026, at 10:00 AM in Las Vegas. The board approved the Spring Mountain Corridor Improvement Grant applications, authorizing $1.2 million in redevelopment funds to leverage $1.6 million in private investment for 26 projects. Public comments included support for the grants and complaints about individual grievances and mold exposure at a commercial property.

Consent Calendar

Approved the minutes of the May 20, 2026 regular meeting.
Approved the agenda as presented.

Public Comments & Testimony

First Public Comment Period: Ms. Coleman spoke about personal grievances involving the district attorney, homelessness, and restitution, but her comments were not directly related to an agenda item. Michael Lee (Palette Tea Lounge), Kevin Child (6000 Spring Mountain), Trustin (BBR Cafe), and Bob Olson (Plumbers Union) expressed support for Agenda Item No. 4, the Spring Mountain Corridor grants, citing safety, aesthetics, and community benefits.
Second Public Comment Period: The same speaker (Ms. Coleman) continued her complaints. Tracy Simon of Get a Haircut Barber Shop at New Orleans Square testified that her husband suffered respiratory failure from long-term mold exposure. She stated that a Clark County report found 29 types of mold but claimed no levels of concern, contradicting public health standards. The Chair responded that relocation assistance for affected businesses would be placed on the next RDA agenda.

Discussion Items

Agenda Item No. 4 – Spring Mountain Corridor Improvement Grants: Shawnee Coleman, RDA Director, presented the program overview. The RDA allocated $1.5 million originally, with grants up to $75,000 per applicant and a 25% minimum match. Through extensive outreach (11 mobile office hours, 338 meetings, 1,900 mailers), 38 complete applications were received. A committee reviewed and recommended 26 for approval, totaling $1.2 million in RDA funds and $1.6 million in private investment (approximately 57% private share). Jason Dagger, Commission District Analyst, detailed each of the 26 recommended projects, including parking lot lighting, security cameras, facade improvements, cultural art, signage, and asphalt repairs. Properties such as Shanghai Plaza (2.7 million annual visitors) and Chinatown Plaza were highlighted. Key requirements: projects must start within 120 days and complete within one year of grant agreement. Commissioner Jones praised the 62% private investment (based on the total leveraged) and requested post-completion tracking of crime and visitor data.

Key Outcomes

The Board unanimously approved the 26 Spring Mountain Corridor Improvement Grant applications as recommended.
The Chair confirmed that relocation assistance for businesses affected by mold at New Orleans Square (raised by Tracy Simon) would be addressed on a future RDA agenda.
