This bill would help improve public lands management, support flood mitigation and outdoor recreation, and expand economic development opportunities in Carson City, Nevada, all while ensuring environmentally sensitive areas remain protected. As the state with the highest percentage of public land in the nation, Nevada relies on federal legislation to make land available for development and other public purposes. The bill now heads to the House of Representatives, and if passed, would go to the President’s desk. “As communities across Nevada continue to grow, we need to make sure that federal lands are being used in a way that best fits local needs. I’ve been proud to work with Mayor Bagwell to put together a bill that will ensure land is available for Carson City, spurring economic development, supporting infrastructure improvements, expanding access to outdoor recreation, and more,” said Senator Rosen . “I’m excited to announce that my bill has passed the U.S. Senate and is closer to becoming law. I urge the U.S. House of Representatives to pass it and ensure that the bill reaches the President’s desk as soon as possible.” “I want to sincerely thank Senator Jacky Rosen for her leadership and tireless efforts in helping pass the Carson City Lands Bill,” said Mayor Lori Bagwell, Mayor of Carson City. “This important legislation will create new opportunities for economic development, responsible growth, and preservation of our treasured open spaces. Senator Rosen’s commitment to Carson City will have a lasting impact on our community for generations to come.” Senator Rosen has worked tirelessly to protect and improve access to Nevada’s public lands, while creating opportunities for reasonable development. She introduced the Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act , also known as the Washoe County Lands Bill, to expand economic development opportunities and make more land available for housing in Washoe County, support local Tribal communities, increase access to outdoor recreation, and protect public lands. Last year, Rosen successfully pushed for a legislative hearing on her Pershing County Economic Development and Conservation Act , which would expand protections for and improve the management of federal public lands in Pershing County. ### Facebook-f Instagram Youtube Flickr Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos
