Clark County Approves $80-86 Million, 3,500-Home Project Near Red Rock Canyon
Jun 19, 2024, 12:06 AM
Clark County commissioners have approved a settlement to allow the construction of 3,500 homes near Red Rock Canyon by developer Gypsum Resources, led by Jim Rhodes. The decision, made during a county meeting, resolves a long-standing dispute and includes a payment of $80-86 million to the developer. The project, which covers 2,010 acres on Blue Diamond Hill, has faced significant opposition from conservationists concerned about environmental degradation. County officials, including Commissioner Jim Gibson, expressed that the settlement was the best possible outcome to avoid potential lawsuits and liabilities. Despite the approval, there is no infrastructure in place, and financial solvency was a key consideration in the decision.
