PLI Executive Director Appointed to Open Space Advisory Committee
TO OPEN SPACE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
February 7, 2008
The executive director of the Public Lands Institute will be involved in a “history-in-the-making effort” with Clark County. Peg Rees has been asked by Clark County Commission Chairman Rory Reid to serve as a member of the Open Space Advisory Committee for the new Las Vegas Valley Perimeter Open Space Plan. The committee of 20 is comprised of representatives of the valley’s environmental, user, business, and academic communities; local municipalities; Clark County; and the Bureau of Land Management.
Clark County’s vision is to form an open space network for public use by identifying and connecting key areas along the rim of the valley. It also wants to identify areas that should remain in public ownership or receive some form of protection to preserve future opportunities.
The Open Space Advisory Committee will meet from January through March 2008 and comment on draft documents and maps. The Clark County Department of Air Quality and Environmental Management will manage the Las Vegas Valley Perimeter Open Space Plan.
