2250 Las Vegas Blvd. N. — Reported Site of Purchase Agreement Discussion
North Las Vegas is considering buying an existing affordable-housing property from Nevada HAND, a move city officials say is meant to keep the units affordable, even as some tenants living there say they had no idea a sale was even on the table. The complex sits near Owens Avenue and Interstate 15, and residents who spoke about the potential deal said the news caught them off guard.
The city is weighing the purchase as the proposal moves toward the North Las Vegas City Council, which is expected to discuss the purchase agreement during Wednesday’s meeting, according to KTNV Las Vegas. Nevada HAND, described by the station as a nonprofit that develops and manages affordable housing in the state, would continue managing or operating the property if the deal moves forward, and the city said there would be no change in the property’s day-to-day management. Nevada HAND declined to comment on the proposal, per the same KTNV report.
