Goal 5.1: Encourage diversification of the economic base to enhance resilience
Adopt and maintain an economic development strategy for County-led efforts that articulates Clark County’s near-and long-term economic development priorities within the Las Vegas Valley and for the county as a whole.
Actively participate in state and regional economic development initiatives led by the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA), and others that provide support and direction on issues of mutual importance.
Continue to emphasize tourism, conventions, trade shows, and gaming as one of the region’s economic pillars, while pursuing efforts to expand the presence of new and emerging sectors such as health care, technology, autonomous technology and vehicle systems, green industries, manufacturing, engineering, and others identified by the GOED, LVGEA, or the Clark County Economic Development Strategic Plan.
Continue to support land use patterns, partnerships, and other efforts that help advance Regional Opportunity Sites and other major efforts, such as the Las Vegas Medical District; Stadium District Development Plan; and Maryland Parkway Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Plan.
Encourage reinvestment in declining or vacant commercial centers through the adaptive reuse or redevelopment of blighted properties, and the introduction of a broader mix of uses (e.g., multi-family residential).
Collaborate with outlying communities in Clark County on the implementation of local and regional economic development goals particularly where targeted industry needs are better suited to locations within outlying communities.
