Nevada Cancer Institute To Use A Portion
The city of Las Vegas will receive an 80-acre parcel of federal land to be used for public facilities and additions to the Nevada Cancer Institute (NVCI). The land, located at Alta Drive and Hualapai Way, is part of a federal lands bill signed by President Barack Obama today.
Approximately 24 acres will go to NVCI, while the majority of the remaining acreage will be used for public purposes, including an already existing water pumping facility, flood control projects and a park.

“We are very grateful to have received this land from the Bureau of Land Management as well as the continued dedication and assistance from our congressional delegation and the city of Las Vegas,” said Heather Murren, chair of the NVCI board.
