The project includes replacing the existing earthen dam, spillway improvements and upgrades to discharge piping and outlet valves. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Pre-Disaster Mitigation Fund is funding the project.
2. Lennar Corporation has started site work on The West End, a 373-lot residential development on nearly 36.5 acres at Rancho Drive and Coran Lane in North Las Vegas. The project will include townhomes, single-family homes and a central park area. The development is part of the broader Hylo Park redevelopment of the former Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho sites.
3. Veritas Preparatory School recently broke ground on a campus expansion that will add two new classrooms for fifth/sixth-grade and seventh/eighth-grade students. Hammond Homes and Construction is overseeing the project, which is expected to finish before the start of the upcoming school year.
