Carson City's Board of Supervisors approved measures on Thursday for an apartment project in Lompa Ranch North that included abandoning a 28,102‑square‑foot roadway easement along Airport Road and rezoning land for multifamily use, and they said the action will not affect nearby wetlands since any new roadwork must get Army Corps approval — addressing local concerns about development. The board also discontinued the Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee and allocated Community Development Block Grant funding to repair the Community Center roof.
