Auction for Cashman Complex opens today
Today, the Cashman complex is going back up for auction.
The City of Las Vegas put it up for sale last year. However, it removed it after several interested parties said they wanted assurances that they could be released from the purchase if they couldn't obtain the necessary land entitlements.
With that new land entitlement clause in place, the new starting bid will be a little more than $36 million.
The auction on EnergyNet.Com will close on March 6. The revenue from the sale is expected to help cover part of the $286 million the city owes as part of the settlement agreement in the dispute over the defunct Badlands golf course.
Trustees set to select builder for Lundy Elementary repairs
Tonight, Clark County School District trustees are set to take a big step toward reopening Mt. Charleston's only elementary school.
The school board could decide on a design-build team to handle repairs at Earl B. Lundy Elementary School.
It's a story we've been following since 2023.
Lundy was damaged by the remnants of Hurricane Hilary, and it has been closed ever since. This has forced its small student body to attend other schools on the mountain.
Initially, CCSD leaders were looking to close Lundy for good, citing high repair costs, but families successfully fought to get it fixed and the school is projected to reopen later this year.
CCSD trustees could select Martin-Harris Construction to oversee the repairs. As for the coast, the district could pay a little more than $7.8 million, with that money coming from the district's capital improvement program and other funds.
Anjali Patel previously spoke to families empowered after the successful fight to keep Lundy Elementary School open.
