\r\nWe continue to stress the necessity of infrastructure in Southern Nevada. As the nation focuses on rebuilding following the COVID-19 pandemic, it is vital to elevate the need for critical infrastructure projects within the community that will supply jobs, resources and growth to the region. We encourage you to read a guest column in the Nevada Independent, published today, May 13, co-authored by Henderson Mayor and RTC Chairwoman Debra March and RTC Vice-Chair Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones. The story is available at: https:\/\/thenevadaindependent.com\/article\/building-back-better-for-infrastructure-week<\/a><\/p>\r\n
\r\n<\/strong>RTC Deputy CEO, David Swallow joined a panel of industry thought leaders who explore how infrastructure providers are building equity solutions into their organizations\u2019 capital plans, planning, services and staffing to better serve their communities. Watch the, \u201cMake it for Everyone: Infrastructure, Equity, and Opportunity\u201d panel on: https:\/\/vimeo.com\/548310290<\/a><\/p>\r\n
\r\nThe RTC wants to test your knowledge through an interactive quiz! Put your skills to the test and take the Buzzfeed quiz on local and international infrastructure at: https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/rtcsnv1\/infrastructure-week-trivia-6u2kim4xjg<\/a><\/p>\r\n
\r\nInfrastructure should not only be recognized during UFI, but we need to continue to share its importance with Southern Nevadans throughout the entire year. Stay tuned for a Tri-Chamber event later this month, where community leaders will talk about local infrastructure projects within the community.
