Carson City has received approximately $2.2 million for these improvements to the freeway corridor. $1.7 million was secured through federal funding by the efforts of Senator Harry Reid and GROW. In addition, Carson City received $500,000 through the Nevada Department of Transportation’s Community Match Program. The design costs for the project are being funded by the Regional Transportation Commission and will be developed to meet NDOT’s US 395 Landscape and Aesthetic Corridor Plan.

Project representatives will be available during the entire meeting to discuss the project with you individually and answer your questions.
