Through extensive outreach, Southern Nevada Strong brought the community together to envision a brighter future and develop the Regional Plan.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Southern Nevada Strong transitioned to the RTC for ongoing administration of the plan. The RTC&#8217;s Metropolitan Planning Organization is working with local governments, public agencies, elected officials, business leaders, community groups, nonprofit organizations, and community members to support plan implementation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is Southern Nevada Strong important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By 2050, over 700,000 additional people will call Southern Nevada home, growing our region\u2019s population from 2.3 million to over 3 million. Without regional planning, uncoordinated growth can result in impacts such as more traffic, higher rents, more heat, and unsustainable water use. Local and regional governments, along with community-based organizations, can influence economic diversity, development, and investment to ultimately create improved quality of life and increase opportunity for all. We need unprecedented regional coordination, community engagement, and a clear plan to make Southern Nevada stronger.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Southern Nevada Strong, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernnevadastrong.org\/\">SouthernNevadaStrong.org<\/a> today!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":11232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[104],"class_list":["post-11230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-southern-nevada-strong"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11230"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11259,"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11230\/revisions\/11259"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rtc.staging.snvhost.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
