Population: 2982
renewable resources healthcare mental health education elderly
Cultural or Historical Interests
Elders and children bring everyone together. Friendship brings everyone together too. Growing up on reservation there isn't a lot of access to many things. Culture and history took a loss and there is a lot of Elders passing. Language loss. No access to the lake or Mt. Grant. No fish in lake, huge impact to who we are. Pinenut festival is a shared history.
Community Activities and Services
Come together at the school and tribal gym. The gym has community events, funerals, sporting activities, recreational. Smokeshop and community center. Schurz elementary school to make friends and hangout. In the desert playing with the dirt. Only elementary school here. Travel to Fallon for shopping on a weekly basis. Pool and Boys & Girls club.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Residents are employed through the tribe, but more so in school districts, Yerington, Fallon, Hawthorne base. Working 100+ miles away. Limited water.
Community Needs and Concerns
High school students have to travel 30+ miles to get to school. Adults have to travel 30+ miles too for work and education. No full time hospital, have to drive about 40 miles to access emergency healthcare. Pinenut festival and traditional foods threatened due to cutting down of trees and climate change. Politicians need to listen on how to take care of the earth. Not everything is for sale or profit. Limited housing because water system does not support more houses. Community events and access to resources. More support for schools and more funding needed. Policies need to be in place for the funding to be used. Education and housing are an issue. Healthcare is an issue too.

infrastructure healthcare Indigenous mental health farming
Cultural or Historical Interests
Educational dept. started a language program to revitalize culture and language. Culture incorporated more into school district. Pinenut Festival is a shared history and brings together everyone, has been going on for nearly 100 years.
Community Activities and Services
Recreational area Weber reservoir for camping, swimming, etc. One sandy road to get there so it's sometimes difficult. Small community park with a couple swings, there is also a track. Not too many places to gather. Community park with baseball to open next year with asphalt walking area. Healthcare - Walker River tribal clinic working off refferal system. Ambulance service and for emergency service there is Care Flight. Educational Services there is Walker River Education Dept. Transportation for medical is done by clinic, homemaker for Elders to offer services for shopping, etc. Funding to come in to offer transportation to Yerington for school. There are volunteer EMTs to help out.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Majority of residents are employed off reservation at Hawthorne military base. Walker River has just over 90 employees. Not a lot of job opportunities in Schurz. Abandoned vehicles and houses serve as an environmental concern. Environmental program has been doing better in protection. Still fighting for water rights since early 1900s. Walker Lake has been improving, but not until recently.
Community Needs and Concerns
Phone system always goes, poor internet and cell service. Emergency and other calls are slowed down. Would benefit from being in one district so there doesn't have to be multiple connections. Tribal needs should be priority. Cafeteria has a diesel smell that has not been fixed. Poverty level is almost 50% where families are under the poverty line. There needs to more local jobs to help. Politicians should understand people on a cultural level. Local and state support needed.

Nov. 13, 2021
Population: 723
housing voting rights mental health environment affordable
Cultural or Historical Interests
My community is comprised of a growing gentrified area situated next to Latinx majority shopping and business centers.
Community Activities and Services
My community is situated close to both a VA and general care hospital. There are also multiply parks in the area, making it ideal for houseless individuals, which has become a growing problem.
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is one currently being impacted greatly by growing gentrification. This has lead to many over-priced restaurants and stores. Rising prices have also caused a understandable growing influx of houselessness that only continues at an alarming rate.
Community Needs and Concerns
My community deserves better representation than just catering to those that have or are just moving in. The push out of long time community members in the name of profit has been and continues to be a huge problem, silencing those that need to be heard most.

transportation Indigenous voting rights mental health activism
Cultural or Historical Interests
There are churches. there are different minorities however I don't know of any specific places for them to meet. I do not believe there is a shared history.
Community Activities and Services
People in town meet at the convention center. People on the reservation gather at the tribal gym. There is several shopping areas and a school system with a few different schools. There is a community college(WNC). There is a library and some parks. There is Lake Lahontan. In my area there is one church; the mormon church.
Economic or Environmental Interests
A lot of people are employed by the mine. I don't know of any other places really. I don't know of any environmental concerns.
Community Needs and Concerns
Politicians should know that we are a diverse community and would benefit from public health programs such as public transport, health services and things like that.People feel disenfranchises by zoning because it makes minorities have a harder time being represented. It has been used to drowned out the voices of others.

Population: 7036
agriculture infrastructure housing environment corruption
Cultural or Historical Interests
My community has a large native population with a reservation next to it. There has always been contention between the native people and the city that resides on their ancestral land.
Community Activities and Services
Most people meet up at bars, adult/youth sporting events, and Walmart. There are a lot of shops and stores for a small town. There are 5 elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, and a community college. there is one library and 3 parks for the community to use. there is a senior transport program called CART and there is a urgent care and a tribal clinic as well as a hospital. There are nonprofits for the animal shelters.
Economic or Environmental Interests
People either work on farms, factories outside of Fallon at USA Parkway, or in the service industry. We have a trash and polluted water issue. The city dump has recently burned down and there is no place for the city's trash to go. The water supply in my community is becoming slimy and smells like pool water.
Community Needs and Concerns
The city is trying to close the library and we cannot lose that resource. We have a huge need for affordable living. The housing crisis is causing rent to sky rocket to prices comparable to cities like Reno and Las Vegas. Recreational weed should be more accessible for those who would like it. The animal shelter needs a new well. Land Back!

Fallon/Churchill Community

Nevadans Count
COI Maps
Nov. 11, 2021
Population: 21548
agriculture renewable resources Indigenous water rural
Cultural or Historical Interests
We have a significate number of religious entities in Churchill County. There are efforts to revitalizes and establish connections with the indigenous populations however there are still animosity between the reservation and the county of Churchill.
Community Activities and Services
Community events are held all over and seasonal. Important community meetings are also held. Most events are held virtually due to COVID. There are community health workers that connect people to services through social media. There are transportation programs like C.A.R.T. There is one community college/trade school, a charter school (k-12) and a full public school district as well as 2 private schools. There is one public library. We have 3 public parks and sports centers however, there aren't readily available recreational spaces for the reservation/ tribal communities outside the area. The Churchill Community Coalition offers several services to connect the community to resources.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Most people are employed in agriculture, municipal, service industry, and a significate number commute to US Parkway for industrial jobs. The prospects of Green Energy Corporation are depleting and polluting natural resources. Significate agricultural land is also endangered by these "efforts" by creating a shortage of water. These companies do not honor their agreements with tribal land and other communities who need these natural resources.
Community Needs and Concerns
The City and County do not always represent their constituents as well as they should or work together on most issues. There is a significant misappropriations and misallocation of funds coming for the state level to the local level of government. Rural communities have historically and purposefully misrepresented and only utilized during voting season. We are not given the funds needed to create functioning communities, as in the bare minimum.

Cultural or Historical Interests
I live on the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Reservation. The city of Fallon is originally Paiute land.
Community Activities and Services
I shop at Walmart in Fallon, NV. It is not on the reservation. There is a Headstart program on the reservation. Other schools are in town (Fallon, NV).

There is a transit bus for the reservation and a tribal clinic. There is a hospital in town (non tribal).
Economic or Environmental Interests
People mostly work for the Naval base. There are farmers in Fallon that grow alfalfa and other things. There is an issue with the poisoned water table and the (tribal) community fights against mining and the damage it does to the land and water. There is a job shortage for work in town and on the reservation.
Community Needs and Concerns
Politicians and map drawers need to be aware of sacred sites and to protect them. The reservation needs a daycare. There needs to be more access to mental health services. Community activities are greatly needed. All these lands are sacred. The land is our cultural identity.

My community was built around the 1970s. We have a Rhema church and Eastern Orthodox church in the neighborhood. On average my neighbors are predominantly Latino, middle aged, families with young children. There isn't a common language spoken, there's a number of different languages spoken.

There aren't any places of worship nearby. There's a hospital down the road, there are also quick care clinics in my area as well. There's a bus stop down the street but that's the only noticeable public transport nearby. There aren't any nonprofits in my area. There's one community center nearby. The Truckee River is nearby.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Alot of my neighbors work for warehouses. I do notice trash on sidewalks and roads, but not that much. I would say there are water conservation issues within my community. The nearby river is polluted. There is a houseless population that circulates through the area.
Community Needs and Concerns
I would like more resources for the houseless population, I believe that would solve alot of the other issues in my area. Landback.

Cultural or Historical Interests
We haven't been able to meet many of our neighbors, but the ones we have met are Caucasian and Hispanic. Our neighbors are mostly families. The neighborhood in general is Caucasian. The neighborhood was built around 2007, so it is fairly new. I have noticed quite a few neighbors who are Mormon. We aren't near any districts, that I know of. I don't know of any cultural events that happen in my neighborhood. We have attended a couple of cultural events in LV downtown for the Native community, but most of the Native cultural events we attend are in Northern NV. I have noticed a few other Native American families within my neighborhood.
Community Activities and Services
In my area, there's a wide variety of stores (chain supermarkets, organic) I'm unsure if there are low cost options but there aren't any wholesale or cultural supermarket options nearby. The public school options are very nice & new, there are charter schools within my community but the charter school we prefer is farther away. I haven't been able to notice if we're near any institutions of higher education. There's a lot of well kept & beautiful parks close by. The parks have a wide variety of amenities. We travel to Northern NV for our spiritual practices, we haven't found that community yet. I'm unsure about public transit. There's hospitals nearby, we use LV Paiute & RSIC clinics.
Economic or Environmental Interests
I haven't met enough of my neighbors to say on average what industry most of them are employed with but those I met are Construction, Real Estate, Finance. There aren't any homeless folks in my neighborhood. I live in a well-kept gated community with patrolling security and an HOA. The roads are good quality since it's a newer area. There isn't any illegal dumping in the empty lots nearby. Water conservation is a concern of mine, most folks don't have grass, but they look to have drip water systems. The local businesses don't have any large leaks. There have been issues with local infrastructure and flooding. We don't have any wildlife coming into our neighborhood, except scorpions.
Community Needs and Concerns
We live in a very typical suburb. There is a lot of ethnic diversity when I visit my children's school. Even though it's a well-to-do community there is diversity. I recently moved to this community so I can't speak on the immediate needs.

Cultural or Historical Interests
The places of worship near me are mostly Christian and Catholic churches. On average my neighbors are Hispanic or Latino, Spanish and English speaking, 50's-60's, families. We live within the Downtown Arts District and the Historic Huntridge neighborhood, there are a lot of older homes. Now there are more cultural events (Indigenous & Hispanic/Latinx) happening. This neighborhood is part of Old Vegas, so there's a lot of history with the rise of Las Vegas as a city.
Community Activities and Services
We have Hispanic supermarkets, there's a regular Albertson's a little out of the way, there's one Family Dollar, there aren't any wholesale options. There are mostly public schools and magnet schools within my neighborhood. There aren't any higher education institutions near me. The nearest library to me is not really within my neighborhood. There's two public parks nearby. There's quite a few places of worship(2-3). Sunrise Hospital is within a 10 minute drive of me, there's only one urgent care that's attached to the hospital. I go to the Paiute Tribal clinic which is near Downtown. There's frequent bus stops in the area but I don't see any Citibikes. There aren't any local nonprofits near
Economic or Environmental Interests
I notice most of the neighbors on my street are Construction workers. I do notice a lot of trash on my sidewalks and streets. There is some illegal dumping that goes on within my community. There is a lot of homelessness within my neighborhood and especially at the parks nearby. Sometimes there are trucks that drive by causing air pollution. A lot of the yards in my area don't have grass so the water conservation in that area is good but on the other hand many of the houses have pools, so water conservation could possibly be better. Sometimes I notice bunny's but that is a little more towards UNLV, so a bit further than my neighborhood.
Community Needs and Concerns
One of the bigger problems in the neighborhood is trash, and that's caused by the houseless folks in the area. I would like to see more resources for houseless folks rather than pushing them out of the community and criminalizing them.

On average my neighbors are english speakers, 40-60 years of age, Hispanic, Asian, and/or African American. There aren't any cultural event's that happen within my neighborhood.
Community Activities and Services
There is a Smith's that I use for grocery shopping. I have to drive a long way to get to the hospital. There's one charter school two blocks from my home, there's a public elementary school but the public high school is a couple miles away. We don't have any libraries in my neighborhood, I have to get on the freeway to get to one. There's small public parks in my area. There aren't very many places of worship. We only have one bus that runs through our area, there aren't any CAT buses.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Most of my neighbors are employed as teachers, medical personnel, and service industry workers. There is a lot of illegal dumping in the empty lots nearby, especially near the back areas of the properties. We don't have very many homeless folks nearby. I will see them getting onto the freeway but closer to my neighborhood there aren't any. I don't have any concerns about water conservation in my community. I have only seen foxes around my neighborhood.
Community Needs and Concerns
I have noticed that my community needs more public transportation and more businesses (and variety in businesses). I have to drive too far in order to go to certain stores. There is mostly 4-way stops in my community and it has resulted in a lot of accidents, I would like to see more stop lights installed.

There aren't any forms of higher education nearby. There are smaller libraries within my area. We have a variety of large and small public parks within my community. There are quite a few LDS churches in my area. The closest hospital isn't too far and another that is a bit further(but less than 10 minute drive). We have a handful of urgent cares within my neighborhood. I'm not sure if we have any local nonprofits nearby. We only have an average amount of bus stops, it takes a long time to get from place to place.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Most of my neighbors are military, working on the Nellis Air Force Base. We get a lot of helicopters that fly over, making noise. My neighborhood is pretty strict on water conservation, and regulated on other things as well. A little further in my neighborhood there is wildlife (Coyotes and Hawks), we often get Coyote Warnings. Since the neighborhood is so regulated there isn't much litter or illegal dumping.
Community Needs and Concerns

I haven't noticed any specific religious groups within my neighborhood. On average, my neighbors are mostly White, Filipino, and Hawaiian; aged 40's-50's; English and Tagalog speakers. The neighborhood was built in the early 90's. There aren't any districts nearby, but it was one of the first suburbs of Las Vegas. There aren't any museums or galleries that I'm aware of.
Community Activities and Services
Within my neighborhood there are regular and wholesale grocery stores, but within the vicinity there aren't any organic, or Hispanic grocery stores. From what I've noticed there are only public k-12 schools in my area, there aren't any colleges, universities, or higher educational trade schools. There is one smaller public library that isn't too far. Right across the street from me is a large public park. I haven't noticed many places of worship in my area. I don't have any urgent cares or hospitals within my neighborhood but they aren't a far drive. There are a lot of bus stops within my area, but no Citibikes(or many bikes of any kind). I haven't seen any local nonprofits in my area.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Many of my neighbors are working class and a number of folks that are retired, I haven't been able to tell what their careers are specifically. There is a mix within my neighborhood, and the real estate is starting to become more expensive. I have noticed there's quite a bit of trash everywhere, but I think it's because of the wind. I haven't noticed any illegal dumping. There's quite a bit of homeless folks at the park nearest to me(Sunset Park). I have noticed there's a lot of awareness about water conservation by my neighbors and local businesses. There are also a lot of folks who have solar panels. I haven't noticed any wildlife nearby either. There is noise pollution from the airport.
Community Needs and Concerns
I would like to draw extra attention to the rising numbers of homeless folks. I would like to know more about what is being done in Las Vegas and more specifically in my area to help those folks.

I would say the average age of my neighbors is mid-40's, but it's mostly families. My neighborhood is about 30 years old. The cultural bonds of my community have Hispanic roots.
Community Activities and Services
My neighborhood has regular grocery stores (Albertsons, La Bonita), organic options are quite a drive away, wholesale options are about a 10 minute drive from me. There are mostly public k-12 schools in my area, there are a few non-public schools that I notice as well. There aren't any higher education locations in my community. I have a smaller library down the street from me. There are quite a few parks within my community. There's also quite a few places of worship in my neighborhood. There are two urgent care's near my home and the nearest hospital is a bit of a drive from me. I have noticed a lot of bus stops where I live. I've seen a few local nonprofits(Salvation Army) nearby.
Economic or Environmental Interests
I have noticed that many of my neighbors work for local government and the service industry. About 1/3 of my neighbors are retired. The empty lots nearby are full of trash. I do notice quite a few homeless folks in my neighborhood, not as much as other areas of the city. I do have concerns about water conservation within my community. I also have concerns about wildlife as well, I have seen quite a bit of wildlife and I worry if it's a sign we're expanding too fast and too much into their natural environment.
Community Needs and Concerns
I would like to especially highlight water conservation, we live in a desert and need to be mindful about the environment more. I would like to see more cultural centers and more resources for cultural groups to thrive.

I live within Korea Town. There are Buddhist Temples and Mosques so far from what I've noticed. My neighbors, on average, are Latinos, (but there are some from a variety of backgrounds), between the ages of 30-40, and Spanish and/or English speakers. My neighborhood is made up mostly of families and retired folks. My neighborhood was built in the 1970's. I have noticed African (possibly Ethiopian) worship happening in the local park pretty often. It is a very diverse community with different cultural bonds.
Community Activities and Services
There is a variety of grocery stores in my area (sprouts, dollar store, La Bonita). I noticed that there is accessible public transport nearby. I have access to many healthcare services (hospitals, urgent care) within my neighborhood. I haven't noticed any charter schools, but I have noticed k-12 public schools nearby. CSN is within my community, but a bit of a drive. There is also UNLV's medical program nearby. I live near a small (compared to other libraries) library, and further away is another library as well. The parks within the neighborhood are smaller, and it's a 15 minute drive to the nearest large park. There are some places of worship within my neighborhood, that I've noticed.
Economic or Environmental Interests
The majority of my neighbors are employed within the Tourism industry. My neighborhood is pretty clean. Sometimes I notice that sprinklers will over water, but nothing too concerning when it comes to the environment. I and a few of my neighbors did move from our apartments to townhouses.
Community Needs and Concerns

Cultural or Historical Interests
I just moved to my home so I don't know much about my neighbors but I do know this is a area with a higher income. I am unsure of how old my neighborhood is as well. There aren't any museums or galleries nearby. My family and I have to travel outside my community to attend/experience cultural events.
Community Activities and Services
The options for grocery stores in my area are relatively poor there is only a Walmart and an Albertson's quite a drive away. My home is right next to public transportation. There are both hospitals and Urgent Care's nearby. There aren't any parks within walking distance, I have to drive to the nearest one. There aren't any libraries nearby, there is a good library that I go to but it's not at all as close as I would like. I just moved to my area so I don't know what kind of K-12 schools there are. CSN and UNLV are not nearby but they are the closest university/college to me. I have not really paid attention to the different places of worship near me. There aren't any local nonprofits nearby.
Economic or Environmental Interests
I haven't noticed the averaged career of my neighbor. I believe that my sidewalks and neighborhood are clean and well maintained. I would say that my neighborhood has well maintained, high quality roads. There is some construction nearby, although the roads were of high quality before then. There is a lot of greenspace in my are, but living in a desert I see room for improvement for water conservation. I live in a area of those with higher incomes so the neighborhood is better taken care of.
Community Needs and Concerns
My residency is not my community. I moved from Rainbow & Charleston to this area, and the difference of living in these two different spaces is huge. There is much more privilege in the area I live now compared to the working class neighborhood I lived in before. I don't believe there should be such huge disparities in the maintenance of these two communities.

My neighbors are mostly families, middle aged, Caucasian, and english speakers. No religious groups to mention. My area is fairly new, when I first moved here they were still in the process of building things. It's a rural area. There aren't any galleries or museums nearby.
Community Activities and Services
In my neighborhood we have a variety of grocery stores (except for organic or other options like that). I am not completely familiar with the schools in my area, but I did go to public school in other parts of Las Vegas. The university I go to and the college I'm interested in transferring to are not within my community. I haven't seen any libraries nearby. There are quite a few parks, down the street are 2 parks. There aren't any places of worship nearby. I haven't seen any buses or bus-stops in my area. I have a couple Urgent Cares nearby that I utilize, but there aren't hospitals nearby. I mostly have businesses and residential in my area.
Economic or Environmental Interests
For the most part most of the folks I know are in customer service/service industry jobs. There is a lot of illegal dumping in the open spaces nearby, my sidewalks and streets are pretty clean though. The quality of the roads are good. There is a lot of construction in my area, I have lived here for 2 years and every day there has been construction. I would say land conservation is something relevant to my community, I constantly see expansion and worry about the wildlife that lives here.
Community Needs and Concerns
I think in the public school systems I would like Native American history to be taught more. As someone who grew up within the public school system here I do see a lack of inclusion on that part. I would like to also address the Native Tuition Waiver that passed during the 81st NV leg. session., as a Native that grew up within Nevada I know that all Native students within Nevada's K-12 system would benefit at little cost to the state.

There aren't many community centered opportunities near me, mostly business and medical. Nearby there are some Buddhist Temples in Chinatown. My neighbors are very diverse in race, mostly early 30's to retirement age, and unfortunately I haven't been able to interact with them to know what is the language most spoken. There aren't any museums or galleries nearby, the only cultural thing worth mentioning is that I live near Chinatown. I do know that several of my neighbors are DREAMERS.
Community Activities and Services
There are a variety and large amount of grocery stores where I live (wholesale, organic, low-cost). I have not noticed the frequency or type of schools in my area. There is one bus route within my neighborhood. There aren't any libraries nearby, I have to travel quite a ways to get to one. Currently, there is a park being built in my neighborhood (it looks to have water feature) but other than that there aren't many parks. Right across the street is a hospital and other medical buildings, my whole area has a lot of medical facilities. There are a few places of worship for me within driving distance. There aren't many local nonprofits near me.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Across the street from my neighborhood are some very expensive houses. My neighbors are a mix of different incomes, I had some neighbors get evicted due to job loss during the pandemic. The majority of them work in the service industry. I live in a clean neighborhood, there aren't any polluting industries. Drinking water quality is good but my concern is water quantity. The quality of the roads is good. There isn't much construction in community, there is some near the park that's almost done.
Community Needs and Concerns
Water Conservation incentive programs to replace lawn with water conservative landscapes. Crime is also something that I would like addressed. I have seen that they are working on the crime in my area, so I appreciate that. Something missing from where I live, is community support and community related things. I feel like I only live in my area, I have to travel longer than necessary distances in order to attend community events or any community resources. There isn't much of a feeling of community. I have concern over rate of rent increases as well.

Community Needs and Concerns
My area is not homogeneous in our political views. I wouldn't want the ways the districts are drawn to make anyone feel like their vote doesn't matter. Don't dilute the Native vote.

Most of my neighbors look to be service workers and construction workers. There are quite a few neighborhood under construction nearby (about 3-4 of them). The roads are decent, off of Boulder HWY there is a water leak that has been an issue for about four months now. They have blocked off that area, but it still hasn't been fixed. I also live near a street that is often used to get to Lake Mead, so there are quite a few visitors that use that road. The smaller streets have trash on the sidewalks and in the bigger lots there are folks that illegally dump.
Community Needs and Concerns
I would like more focus on cleaning up the trash in my area and the rise in homeless people as well. The homeless folks tend to hang out in the parks.

My community used to be segregated and remains predominantly a black neighborhood. There have been more latino families moving to the area and on my street which used to have the same families for 50 years. This is now known as the Historic Westside Neighborhood and signs were setup around the boundaries.
Community Activities and Services
I have lived in my home in West Las Vegas since 1963. It was a segregated neighborhood when I moved here. Our community gathers at our churches - I attend Zion United Methodist; we gather at the Doolittle community center and Mario's Westside market. I taught at the local elementary schools before retiring in 1994. There is also the MLK community center for senior activities. We have UMC quickcare but I travel across town for specialty healthcare services that I need.
Economic or Environmental Interests
This neighborhood has a lot of low-income, working families. As an older neighborhood, our infrastructure is also aging and has not been upgraded. We frequently lose power, cable and internet service. Residents are employed in the hotels, local government and school district. I know many CCSD teachers and employees in the neighborhood.
Community Needs and Concerns
Our community needs upgraded infrastructure. Our power lines and cable lines primarily. I have Cox cable for tv, phone and internet. When those lines are down, I lose ALL connection. I am 87 years old and that can be very serious due to my health conditions. There needs to be investment in older, urban public works infrastructure including our water and sewer lines but my utilities are the greatest concern.

The community feels like a preservation of the old wild west. We have zoning for horses and equestrian trails; agriculture and spaces for gardening. My neighborhood is very diverse culturally, racially, and physically challenged. The homes and lots are larger and accommodate multi-generational families. There are many conservative residents too.
Community Activities and Services
I live within Lone Mountain Rural Neighborhood Preservation area and I would like my community to its rural nature and would like to see the roadway infrastructure multi-modal to accommodate biking, horses, and pedestrians. We enjoy the parks and amenities in the area including Mountain Crest for frisbee golf, Lone Mountain Regional park for trails, and dog parks. I do live in a small HOA.
Economic or Environmental Interests
The community is a mix of retired individuals, professionals, government workers, and small business owners. There is a higher percentage of people with post-graduate education. There is always an underlying concern of water conservation. Most properties have water smart landscaping. There are concerns of the habitat of wildlife; however there is rat problem in the City sewer system. We do need flood control improvements and assistance with washed out natural shoulders during flash flooding events.
Community Needs and Concerns
We need better access to affordable healthcare. The nearest hospital is Centennial, MountainView and Summerlin however they are private and not all take insurances. I use my husbands health insurance because the provider network and coverage is better. Our area has a higher rate of domestic violence incidents. I would like to see more affordable housing communities but that would also need better access to health care and paratransit.

Community of Interest is why in town pay more in water/sewerage than the out skirts of Yerington. Area is on South Nevada Street, Yerington Nevada, which consists of older homes (1950-1970s), because William Lee homesteaded here and built from in town out. Also, Anaconda Mine which started in the 1950s. Out skirt homes are newer because of the current mine, Pumpkin Hollow.
Community Needs and Concerns

I interviewed the City and found out when the job is done they will not be lowering our prices. My community needs and concerns is they lower the bill when the job is done , and am wondering if these new pipes will cause us any harm?

The Rural Fault Community at Kings Canyon

Vote Nevada
Vote Nevada
May 22, 2021
Cultural or Historical Interests
This community is the result of population growth over time in Nevada, and subsequently Carson City. With the increase in population, the need for more accommodations such as housing arises. Thus the community came to be. The age of housing in the community varies due to this. This relates to the interests outlined in the Environmental category. Because of the varied age, there is varied utility line age, which needs an update due to the probability of earthquakes.
Economic or Environmental Interests
The community is located right on top of some fault lines. Some of the fault lines actually cut through some of the community's structures. This poses a need for some kind of increased service to the area in the event of an earthquake due to damage related to ground rupture; Also known as displacement. Please note that western Nevada has a very high seismic danger.
Community Needs and Concerns
This community has a shared policy concern about the development of the nearby rural area. The community has interest in preserving their “ruralness” by limiting development in the relative area. This includes the possible “Vintage at Kings Canyon” project in the nearby former Anderson Ranch area.

Mineral County High School gets students from Mina, Babbit, Schurz, Walker Lake, and Hawthorne. Many teachers working in MCSD do not stay for a long time, which affects students' education.

In my opinion, there are three needs for this community. 1) Better street lighting. The street lights are too far apart. 2) They need slower speed limits through here like they do in the older part of Minden.

The dangerous toxins that come from the mines kill people and animals.

Virginia City Sinkholes

May 19, 2021
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community of interest is Virginia City and Gold Hill. Every so often, sinkholes threaten buildings and people's lives in the Virginia City area. Using rock bolts along with other precautions might delay the collapse of a mine and could provide additional support for the weakening mines interior in at-risk of collapse mines. In the past, the area's main industry was mining, so today, countless abandoned mines lie underground, many of which are unmapped making them deadly inside and out.
Community Needs and Concerns
Unchecked mines could collapse and cause a sinkhole, dragging in everything around its perimeter including buildings, roads, and possibly people. Mines in this community have become sinkholes in the past and have even recurred, further precautions should be considered to prevent damage to the historic area and its residents. Along with sinkholes open mine entrances can be too big of a temptation so boarding up entrances with sturdy materials should also be a priority for this community.

The way that water rights have always worked is that whenever you got your water rights was how much water you got and when you can start using them. I think that this should be changed because, for one, this seems like an outdated system. And two, there are people who get their water rights first and then don't use them all or don't have enough. They should be displaced and given out for how much you need/available or people who either have too much/little could buy/sell/lease them out.

Las Vegas

May 14, 2021
Community Needs and Concerns
Education and health care are the two biggest concerns in Las Vegas. Our education is chronically underfunded, but our state has low taxes on the industries that could change that. Low gaming tax. Low mining tax. No tax on sports as part of the entertainment ticket tax. We need to elect people with the will to represent the people of Las Vegas, not casino owners.

My Community of Interest Project is about how in my area we pay more in water/sewerage then other areas in my town and why. My area in on South Nevada Street, in Yerington Nevada, and it is in town mostly consists of older homes. William Lee homesteaded here and built from in town. The out skirts of Yerington have newer houses, these houses where built when the Anaconda Mine was active in 1918, more are being built because the active mine "Pumpkin Hollow".
Community Needs and Concerns
We pay more in water/sewerage because the pipes in town burst due to the fact they are so old. The pipes are being replaced and we are paying for the new pipping and labor to install. I learned that after the job is done we will still be paying the same amount. My Community concern is that our bill be lowered when the job is done and also, if these new pipes are at any danger to us.

HIST 217 Week 13 Community of Interest Part 5 Submissions
May 3, 2021
Economic or Environmental Interests
The community is located right on top of a grouping of fault lines. Some of the fault lines actually cut through some of the community's structures. This poses a need for some kind of increased service to the area in the event of an earthquake due to damage related to ground rupture; Also known as displacement. Please note that western Nevada has a very high seismic danger.
Community Needs and Concerns
This community lies far out from the center of the city and relies on such utilities as wells and septic. As being rural, the community has a shared policy concern about the development of the nearby rural area. The community has interest in preserving their “ruralness” by limiting development in the relative area. This includes the possible “Vintage at Kings Canyon” project in the nearby former Anderson Ranch area.

My community is a boomtown. There are many open mines that produce risk for not only residents and visitors but also the wildlife. Some of the mines are noticed and blocked off, but others are still holes in the ground that can be unnoticed until it's too late. The dangerous toxins that come from the mines kill poeple and animals.

William Lee homesteaded in Yerington and built his boarding house in town for travelers to stay at. He convinced many of his friends to move and build their businesses there as well. The houses in town are older then the houses on the out skirts which where built between 1918, when the Anaconda Mine opened up, and most recent dates. The piping in town is being replaced because they are much older and that is why we pay more in water/sewage. Once the job is done they will not be lowering the bill

Community Needs and Concerns
Currently, Fernley's roads suffer from large cracks, potholes, unevenness, and bumpy texture. These damages make it difficult to drive when driving through the city. Fernley's roads haven't been repaved since 1993. In other words, 28 years have gone by since the roads were last worked on. That's almost 3 decades of driving through the same old worn-down roads. Keep in mind that Fernley's population will continue to grow, causing more wear and damages to its roads.

Abandoned Mines Community

May 1, 2021
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community of interest is Virginia City and Gold Hill. Every so often, sinkholes threaten buildings and people's lives in the Virginia City area. In the past, the area's main industry was mining, so today, countless abandoned mines lie underground, many of which are unmapped. The mines in the area are highly deadly through the poisonous gases that rest inside and the deep shafts and tunnels that lie below the surface.
Community Needs and Concerns
Unchecked mines could collapse and cause a sinkhole to form, dragging in everything around its perimeter including buildings, roads, and possibly animals or people. Mines in this community have become sinkholes in the past and have even recurred in the same location, further precautions should be taken into consideration to prevent future damage to the historic area and its residents.
