District Message

Lawrence L. Brown III, Chairman Clark County Commissioner

As the economy continues to improve we currently have 21 projects under construction or about to begin construction. These range from improving flood control along the Muddy River to completely overhauling the Desert Rose Golf Course and working to remove 1,700 homes from the flood zone nearby.

These projects total more than $130 million and will be built thanks to our strong partnerships with member entities and private sector partners. Ultimately, our community will be safer and we’ll put 1,450 people to work on these jobs.

To date we’ve built 90 detention basins and 581 miles of channel. In the last year alone we finished 10 projects totaling nearly $40 million.

Over time we've invested $1.7 billion in flood control improvements across Clark County, making neighborhoods, homes and businesses safer from flooding. We're working each day to avert loss of life and property.

Our ongoing work helps make our Southern Nevada community safer and more resilient during times of flooding.
