Our Focus 2026

Strong communities don't grow from just one thing. Our work in 2026 is centered around three areas that help Clark County remain a place where people can build a business, find a home, raise a family, and belong.

Business Growth

Helping businesses start, stay, and grow in Clark County.

That means connecting entrepreneurs with funding and resources, supporting existing businesses, helping new ideas get off the ground, and working to fill the businesses and services our communities need.

Funding • Entrepreneurship • Workforce • Business Recruitment

Housing Development

Housing

Creating more opportunities for people to live here.

Housing affects nearly everything else we want to accomplish. We're working to identify opportunities for new housing, connect properties with potential developers and homeowners, and help move local housing projects from ideas toward action.

New Housing • Available Properties • Development • Community Needs

Quality of Life

Helping make Clark County a place people can build a life, not just make a living.

We support community-led projects and connections that make our towns stronger, more welcoming, and easier to call home. Sometimes that means helping a local idea find funding. Sometimes it's connecting the right people. Sometimes it's simply helping a community move a good idea forward.

Childcare • Community Projects • Recreation • Welcoming • Connection
