Citywide power outage planned

For several years, the former Vons building on Boulder City Parkway has sat empty. But a big step was taken last week to change that.

At just more than six months on the job, City Manager Ned Thomas does not need to be worried about keeping the gig as city council members gathered Wednesday morning for an earlier-than-normal performance evaluation and every comment from every member present (Councilwoman Sherri Jorgensen was absent) could be fairly characterized as stellar.

The old Vons building is not the only place in the mix for future RV storage. (See story on page 1.) The city is also eyeing a possible future facility in the area where Veterans Memorial Drive and Yucca Street come together.

Matt Di Teresa may be a member of perhaps the most important city body outside of the city council, but that does not mean he toes the city line.

So, no more Tract 350. Not the project but rather the name.

It’s been a few weeks since the completion of the roadwork on Nevada Way, and according to the city, they’re happy with the finished product.
