Message from Councilwoman Díaz
Hello Residents,
I hope this newsletter message finds you safe and healthy. As always, my office remains committed to working for you every day.
I would like acknowledge our small businesses for their resiliency and willingness to adapt to the changing conditions that this pandemic has caused. Many small businesses have found innovative ways to serve their patrons, and for that I am grateful. We all need to feel a bit of normalcy in our lives. The city of Las Vegas introduced two new programs to assist the local business community as it reopens under operating regulations of Phase 1. I encourage our business owners to take a close look at these opportunities to determine if they can be of any benefit to you.
If you have any recommendations on future topics or questions that you would like us to find the answers to, please email us or message us through social media at @oliviadiazlv. Below you’ll also find updated information about the current status of COVID-19 in the Las Vegas community.
I shall continue to stand with you during these challenging times and I urge you to reach out to me or the Ward 3 office for assistance. Our office line is 702.229.4623, my direct phone number is 702.764.1093, or you can also email us at Ward3@lasvegasnevada.gov.
Yours in service,
Olivia Díaz

New Grant Offers Up To $4,000 To Qualifying Businesses
Commercial Centers Will Be Included In The Safe Sidewalks Program
The city of Las Vegas is offering two new programs to assist the local business community as it reopens under operating regulations of Phase 1*. The first, a grant program, will provide direct funds to small businesses impacted by the guidance and restrictions from the Governor’s orders for business operations and in accordance with the Southern Nevada Health District’s guidance. In addition, the city will expand the safe sidewalk program announced last week to include commercial centers and commercially zoned property.
Some additional restrictions apply. For more detailed information on both programs visit www.lasvegasnevada.gov/ReopeningResources, and for the reopening grant application visit www.lasvegasnevada.gov/ReopeningGrant. For additional questions, please contact the city’s call center at 702-229-CARE

 In appreciation to the various organizations in Ward 3 serving our community, I was able to deliver 10 pallets of water to ensure we all stay hydrated during this hotter weather.
Recipients include Share Village, City Impact, El Shaddai, Casa de Luz, Arriba Las Vegas and St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
Kudos to CREDO Las Vegas (Community Revitalization Economic Diversity of Las Vegas) for their generous food donation for the residents of Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority's Robert Gordon Plaza. We are STRONGER TOGETHER! Watch the full video clip.
 Volunteers and staff of CREDO Las Vegas and the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority.
 As a small token of our appreciation, we are delivering lunch meals to FRONT-LINE workers and volunteers on Thursdays. Ward 3 small business owner Antonio Muñoz from “911 Tacos” helped us prepare and deliver delicious breakfast burritos for the volunteers of the St. Joseph's Catholic Church food pantry. In addition, the church also received a donation of much needed water. If you would like to nominate a deserving Ward 3 front-line entity, please email ward3@lasvegasnevada.gov.
