Cheyenne Technology Corridor

The Cheyenne Technology Corridor (CTC) epitomizes partnerships.  The corridor was designated as an integrated, accessible and diversified technology district, located along Cheyenne Avenue, from Decatur Boulevard to Pecos Road and between Gowan Road and Evans Street.  The CTC is the result of the shared vision of five developers and the City of North Las Vegas with buy-in from the College of Southern Nevada (CSN), the North Las Vegas Airport, and other technology-service companies.

Today, companies such as Spacecraft Components, California Plasticard, Inc., Emory Riddle University, Federal Express, MedicWest Ambulance, Spacecraft Components, Schwan’s Home Delivery, U. S. Foods, Wirtz Beverage Group and Cox Communications are located within the CTC.

Veteran's Hospital - VA

In September 2004, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced plans for more than $600 million full-service medical center in North Las Vegas on 151 acres near the intersection of Pecos Road and the Northern Beltway. The 900,000 + square-foot building will accommodate 90 inpatient beds and a 120 bed extended and skilled care, community living center.  Construction completion is scheduled for late 2011, with an opening in mid-2012.

The hospital will be the first of its kind in the Las Vegas Valley and will alleviate the stress on other area VA clinics.  While it is expected to offer convenience and unprecedented access to medical care for area veterans, primary care clinics across the valley will remain open to accommodate the medical needs of veterans in other neighborhoods.

University of Nevada Las Vegas

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has begun a study process examining possible uses for a 2,009 acre parcel of federal land located north of 215 Beltway between Pecos Road and Lamb Boulevard.  Educational, community and cultural uses could be developed to complement residential and business developments planned for the area, which is expected to become a major economic center for North Las Vegas.

Development of More Than 16,000 Acres

The release of more than 16,000 acres by the Bureau of Land Management in recent years has provided ample opportunity for the City of North Las Vegas to grow dramatically.  As the federal lands have become available, the City Council has overseen the growth and development of master-planned communities that are incorporating a mix of affordable and luxury housing along with retail stores, parks and recreational centers.

Aliante is a master planned community created by North Valley Enterprises LLC, an affiliate of American Nevada Company and Del Webb Communities, Inc.  Aliante consists of 1,905 acres, which includes 1,165 acres of residential development, 428 acres of recreational and public use land, a municipal golf course, city parks, a natural arroyo, lighted trail system and nearby development.

In November 2005, Olympia purchased two parcels totaling 2,675 acres for $639 million at the BLM auction.  Olympia has developed other master-planned communities in Southern Nevada, including Southern Highlands.

Park Highland’s master-plan proposes 15,750 homes, more than 28 acres of neighborhood commercial, 113 acres of regional commercial, and 118 acres offering a mix of commercial and residential uses.  Under the development agreement between the City and Olympia, the developer will donate land for a fire station, five elementary schools, a middle school, and 130 acres of parks and trails.  Olympia also must build and partially equip a fire station, construct a police command station and a library.  The development will be adjacent to a 300-acre conservation area set aside by the BLM.
