FY24 Community Project Submissions
Congressman Steven Horsford voted to finalize $28,202,279 in Community Project Funding that he previously secured for Nevada’s 4th District in the 2024 spending bills. This funding, included in the first of the appropriations government funding packages, responds directly to some of the most pressing needs in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Pahrump.
“I am proud to have requested funding for these projects throughout Nevada’s 4th Congressional district. Today, I voted to deliver $28,202,279 in Community Project Funding for projects in North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Henderson, and Pahrump. I know that these investments will profoundly impact Nevada’s 4th District,” Congressman Horsford said. “These investments create jobs and grow our economy, making a real difference in the lives of so many in our community. I am proud to have fought for funding to make our community healthier, safer, and stronger.”
Congressman Horsford championed funding for 14 projects directly benefiting Nevada’s 4th District residents. These include:
- $6,760,000 for Cheyenne Park
- $800,000 for Eighth Judicial District Court's Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program

House Democrats were successful in removing harmful extreme House Republican policies from these bills that attempted to make abortion illegal everywhere, slash efforts to fight climate change, and threaten our national security. Instead, these final bipartisan 2024 funding bills will help keep our communities safe, fight inflation, and boost our economy. Together, the funding for Nevada’s 4th District and the funding increases for critical government programs will continue to grow our local economy and support our communities.

Requesting Entity: Southern Nevada Water Authority, 1001 S. Valley View Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89153
Project Name: Lake Mead/Las Vegas Wash Program
Requested Amount: $3,500,000
Awarded Amount: $3,500,000
Project Description: The Las Vegas Wash is the primary drainage of the Las Vegas Valley, carrying urban runoff and treated wastewater into Lake Mead and the Colorado River. The Wash is critical as it serves as a return flow conveyance, increasing the amount of water Nevada can withdraw from Lake Mead. It is also an important environmental resource, providing wetland habitat. Funds would be used to construct erosion control structures in the Lower Wash in the NPS Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This will protect existing infrastructure, restore surrounding wetlands, and improve drinking water quality for the region. BOR has been assisting with erosion control and restoration of the Wash. Reducing the sediment load is important because the Wash discharges into Lake Mead, the primary drinking water source for southern Nevada. Without federal assistance, the construction costs of the weirs will further strain local resources that could otherwise be allocated for local water infrastructure projects.

Requesting Entity: City of Las Vegas, 495 S. Main Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101
Project Name: Valley View Blvd. Pedestrian Safety Improvements – Vision Zero Program
Requested Amount: $2,000,000
Awarded Amount: $500,000
Project Description: Las Vegas was originally developed with cars in mind - when constructed decades ago, the roads were built straight and wide to maximize vehicular throughput with little thought for multimodal users. As population and demand have changed, these thoroughfares have become a barrier to mobility for people who live and work in Las Vegas, particularly the vulnerable road users who must walk, bike, roll, or take transit. The segment of Valley View Blvd. between Desert Inn Rd. and Charleston Blvd. is no exception – it is a highly-traveled arterial for vehicles and utilized by a significant number of pedestrians. It is also part of the City’s High Injury Network (HIN) where traffic fatalities and serious injuries are heavily concentrated. The improvements will include Federal Highway Administration proven countermeasures for pedestrian and access management safety improvements including: (1) signalized pedestrian crossings with pedestrian hybrid beacons at El Conolon and Sycamore (2) pedestrian flasher system at El Camino (3) pedestrian median refuge islands (4) upgraded streetlighting corridor-wide and at intersections (5) improved traffic signal timing operations.

The condition of the road also hampers medical care, economic development, and tourism. If approved, this funding would be used to pave the approximately 13 miles of PSR situated in Nye County.
