Plan Components
In 2015, when the Southern Nevada Strong Plan (SNS) was first created, the plan’s goals and strategies were organized into four main themes:
- Improve economic competitiveness and education
- Invest in complete communities
- Increase transportation choice
- Build regional capacity for implementation of the plan
The SNS 2050 Plan will use data-driven processes to move from this broad vision into an action plan that will bring more housing options, better paying jobs, and more ways to get around the region.
Additionally, the plan will also focus on helping the environment by planning for environmental changes, such as extreme heat, and finding ways to protect the area’s natural resources like water.
More Housing Options
The SNS 2050 Plan will include a Regional Housing Strategy that will help create more homes that people can afford. It will also make sure these homes are close to buses and other transportation, so people don’t have to drive long distances. This will save time, money, and help the environment by reducing pollution.
Good Paying Jobs
The SNS 2050 Plan will help improve access to economic opportunities for all Southern Nevadans by better connecting jobs and homes so it easier and cost less to travel to work. The plan will also identify infrastructure needs and investments that can help diversify and expand our economy in things like healthcare and manufacturing, which provide good paying jobs.
Better Ways to Get Around
The SNS 2050 Plan will work to improve transportation choices to help connect jobs, homes, and services so people can travel more easily and quickly. This will help people get to work, school, and other needed services without wasting time and money on long car trips.
