A Las Vegas neighborhood is rallying young residents to paint a mural on the U.S. 95 sound wall near Rancho and Mesquite Avenues on Wednesday, July 30, at 8:30 a.m. The project is part of the Rancho Springs Neighborhood Association’s plan to beautify its area and is partially funded by a city of Las Vegas Youth Neighborhood Association Partnership Program Grant (YNAPP).

My hope is that more neighborhoods will get organized through the city so they can take advantage of all the benefits that we offer.”
