In June 2018, the Clark County Commission voted 6-0 in favor of a draft resolution that urges Congress to advance federal legislation that would expand the conservation of public lands and economic development opportunities in Clark County. In partnership with local governments and organizations, the County drafted such legislation. It seeks to move the community forward through pragmatic, science- and research-based planning, fostering economic growth while preserving conservation, habitat and species that makes Southern Nevada a sustainable and beautiful place to live, work and explore. In this interview, Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones and Air Quality Director Marci Henson explain.
