Washoe County Commission Newsletter Winter 2021

Wc

GREETINGS FROM CHAIR BOB LUCEY
As we close out another year in Washoe County, I am encouraged by the progress your Board of County Commissioners has made to engage residents in the work of the county.

We held numerous planning meetings this year, seeking public input on everything from trailhead improvements to short-term rentals to the county’s 20-year master plan.  

We tackled the once-in-a-decade redistricting process by presenting five district maps to the public. The feedback we received actually led us to create a sixth map that incorporated the valuable recommendations we received, and that’s the map we approved. You can read more about that process and view the map on our website here.  

We made great strides in providing for those in need in our community, but still have a long way to go. Without affordable housing, those experiencing homelessness will continue to struggle to find permanent housing. But I’m proud that we launched the new Washoe County Affordable Housing Trust Fund to address long-term housing needs, and we opened the regional Cares Campus and Safe Camp to provide emergency shelter.
