Nevada governor encourages release of federal land for housing
Briefly

Governor Lombardo has raised concerns about the heavy federal control over nearly 87% of Nevada’s land, which limits opportunities for developers in key counties like Washoe and Clark. He warns that these areas could run out of developable land by the late 2020s. Lombardo is advocating for federal land assumption to alleviate housing shortages, while collaborating with the state Legislature to push for the release of federal land. He accuses the federal government of undermining Nevada’s sovereignty and failing to honor commitments made upon the state’s admission into the Union.
The draft resolution highlights how Lombardo aims to work collaboratively with lawmakers to gain traction on the proposal for federal land takeover.
Lombardo argues that the federal government's control over Nevada lands obstructs the state’s development and economic diversification efforts.
