Recovering from #COVID19 - #ClarkCounty is asking businesses and nonprofit organizations to take a short survey to better understand conditions in Las #Vegas and develop programs that invest in the success of those businesses and nonprofits.
Survey results will help the Clark County’s Community and Economic Development Department as it works on new business support programs using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to help stimulate local economic recovery and promote resiliency.
Participants may complete the survey anonymously or identify their business by providing contact information if they would like to be contacted by County staff. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is available at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NDC_ClarkCounty_ARPASurvey.
Las Vegas is the “Wedding Capital of the World” and soon, maybe even this February, the Clark County Clerk will issue the 5 millionth marriage license. The County Commission has declared February 2022 Wedding Month.
The Clerk has launched a new website to share the now-trademarked brand, "Wedding Capital of the World." www.Weddings.vegas showcases the variety of wedding locations, venues and information that make Las Vegas/Clark County the top wedding destination in the world.
As the drought in the Colorado River Basin continues, Southern Nevada must continue to conserve its water resources. The most important way to conserve water here is by decreasing consumptive uses – those uses that can’t be recycled and reused.
Landscaping represents the largest consumptive use in our area. The Nevada State Legislature approved a new law that prohibits the use of Colorado River water to irrigate nonfunctional turf - grass that provides no recreational value, is decorative or is not safe to access and use. It’s found throughout the valley, within business complexes, along community streets, and in traffic circles and medians. The unused grass in Southern Nevada soaks up about 12 billion gallons of water every year; the equivalent of more than 10 percent of Nevada’s entire allocation of water from the Colorado River.
Does your community or business have nonfunctional turf? Visit snwa.com to take advantage of the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s rebate to convert grass to desert landscaping or to learn more about nonfunctional turf in the community.
