Critical Funding Secured for North Las Vegas Windsor Park Project, Construction Phase to Finally Commence
LAS VEGAS, NV – Beleaguered families living in Windsor Park – a neighborhood located in North Las Vegas whose homes have been sinking into the ground for decades – got some good news this week, as critical funding for the construction of new residences has finally been secured, allowing the development phase of the long-delayed project to finally commence.
The funding for the Windsor Park project was originally approved in 2023 but development has remained in limbo since then, with an impending deadline threatening to yank the millions of dollars earmarked for the renewal of the devastated neighborhood off the table. However, Nevada State Senator Dina Neal (D-North Las Vegas) confirmed that the state has met the deadline – which was Friday of this week – thus, securing the funding and enabling construction to proceed.
Windsor Park is historically comprised of mostly black residents; 241 homes were originally built in the 1960s, but a mere 90 remain today due to a lack of proper studies of the land the neighborhood was built upon. Aa result, existing fault lines aggravated by groundwater pulled from an underground aquifer resulted in homes gradually sinking into the ground.
The consequences were horrific to Windsor Park: walls inside homes cracked, porches collapsed, and sewage pipes shifted and burst.
Community Development Programs Center of Nevada was awarded a contract for $37 million in 2024 to build a new 93-lot subdivision to provide housing for Windsor Park’s remaining residents. However, work never commenced, and since the money for the project is made up of public funds – $25 million is made up of federal COVID relief funds, and the remaining $12 million is from the state of Nevada itself – the developer was up against strict deadlines that it appeared it wasn’t going to meet.
However, as per State Senator Neal, one of those critical deadlines has been met by Community Development Programs Center – who confirmed that they already have a permit for grading, which is set to commence this week – allowing the Windsor Park project to finally enter its construction phase…much to the relief of its long-suffering residents.
