Growth is the story underneath most other valley stories. A new retail center changes traffic at an interchange; a new sports complex changes what a neighborhood does on a weekend; new homes change school enrollment and water demand.
We cover the projects that reach a city council agenda or a construction fence: who is building, where, at what scale, and what neighbors are saying about it. The aim is to tell you what will be different on your drive or your block once the work is done.
Development · North Las Vegas
Developers are pushing back on NV Energy safeguards meant to keep data center costs off other customers' bills, and redacted filings make it hard to check if those protections work, the Review-Journal reported.
Development · Downtown Las Vegas
City leaders described new labs, a training center and a hotel planned for the Las Vegas Medical District. Medical school deans said too few residency programs are pushing many new graduates out of state.
Development · Nevada
The Forest Service wants to repeal a 2001 rule shielding more than 3 million acres of Nevada forest land and to loosen off-road limits. Public comment on the roadless plan closes Oct. 6.
Development · Henderson
Early construction is under way near the 215 at Green Valley and St. Rose Parkway. Developers see a destination; some neighbors see more traffic at an already busy interchange.
Development · North Las Vegas
Agora Realty unveiled renderings and partnerships for Hylo Park North, the last phase of the 73-acre project. A basketball tournament is booked for November.
Commercial projects near the 215 interchanges draw the most traffic concern from residents, and the most sales-tax interest from the city.
Large mixed-use projects are reshaping parts of North Las Vegas that were empty land a decade ago.

Public Safety · Valley-wide
The National Weather Service expects Las Vegas highs of 95 to 98 degrees through Friday, with minor heat risk in the valley and an extreme heat warning in Death Valley, before winds and cooler air arrive Saturday.
Schools · Nevada
A WestEd analysis approved by Nevada's Commission on School Funding found extra per-pupil dollars for at-risk students had no effect, raising questions about how the state distributes that money.
