Horsford Bill One Step Closer to Passing Despite Divided Congress
Legislation Would Expand Local Control, Diversify Economy & Increase Economic Growth in North Las Vegas
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) released the following statement today as the House Natural Resources Committee passed his Apex Area Technical Corrections Act out of committee, clearing the way for final passage by the full House of Representatives.
Rep. Horsford authored the legislation to allow new and existing businesses at the Apex Industrial Site to expand their operations without going through an outdated and burdensome permitting process for basic utilities and infrastructure.
“We came one step closer to passing a critical bill for North Las Vegas through this divided Congress today,” Rep. Horsford said. “That’s one step closer to our community having the autonomy it needs to make critical investments without facing unnecessary hurdles from Washington.”
Today’s committee vote reflects Rep. Horsford’s ability to work with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to advance priorities for Nevada’s 4th Congressional District.
“I appreciate my colleagues on the House Natural Resources Committee for prioritizing this legislation and the needs of North Las Vegas,” Rep. Horsford continued. “Allowing for local control of the Apex Site will mean more local jobs, more industries to work in, and more economic growth for our community.”
