The Nevada State Infrastructure Bank held a second meeting Jan. 6 to discuss proposals for investing in affordable housing and other priority infrastructure projects to leverage hundreds of millions of dollars of outside capital.
"My team and I are focused on jobs and the economy in 2022 as we continue our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the State Infrastructure Bank is an integral part of my plan," Gov. Steve Sisolak said, according to a release.
The proposals will also create thousands of high-paying jobs.
"Launching the State Infrastructure Bank is one of the biggest ways we can create good-paying jobs while working to address our state's crumbling infrastructure," State Treasurer Zach Conine said.
The State Infrastructure Bank kicked off a 30-day comment period to receive public input on a proposed capital allocation plan to support $75 million in forthcoming infrastructure projects.
Other than this, the meeting also included presentations by Rep. Steven Horsford, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust and the Building and Construction Trades of Northern Nevada.
