North Las Vegas, Nev. – Today, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Congressman Steven Horsford (D-Nev.-04) hosted a press conference with local officials and business leaders to celebrate the recent passage of the Apex Area Technical Correction Act.
The Apex Area Technical Correction Act, which was introduced by Senator Cortez Masto and Congressman Horsford, was signed into law by President Trump this July. It will allow new and existing businesses at Apex to expand without going through a burdensome permitting process for basic utilities and infrastructure. The law will create thousands of new jobs and spur economic growth in North Las Vegas. Senator Cortez Masto has been pushing for this fix since 2023.
“Almost exactly two years ago, I visited the Apex Area Industrial Park and promised to support our business community’s development,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “I am so proud to return two years later having delivered a real solution for North Las Vegas. I look forward to seeing the growth and jobs that this new law creates in our community.”
“For years, development at the Apex Industrial Site faced bureaucratic approval procedures and red tape from Washington, D.C.,” Rep. Horsford said. “That ends with the Apex Area Technical Correction Law – it streamlines the permitting process, which will diversify our economy and create local jobs. It has been an honor to work with community, state, and federal stakeholders to make this law a reality, and I’m excited for the new opportunities it will create for the people and community here in North Las Vegas.”
Senator Cortez Masto and Congressman Horsford were joined by North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown, and Assemblywoman Lisa Cole, representing the Apex Association.
“This law fast tracks infrastructure development that will lead to quality jobs in North Las Vegas,” said Mayor Goynes-Brown. “I am grateful to Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Congressman Steven Horsford for pushing theApex Area Technical Corrections Act through and helping North Las Vegas unlock Apex’s full potential.”
“Today’s ceremonial signing of the Apex Area Technical Corrections Act recognizes the new law which unlocks long awaited opportunity for the region,” said Assemblywoman Cole. “By cutting years of red tape through a unified permitting process, this breakthrough clears the way for faster infrastructure and jobs while protecting oversight of precious resources. We thank Senator Cortez Masto and Congressman Horsford for making this a reality and for the support of Mayor Goynes-Brown and the City of North Las Vegas.”
Senator Cortez Masto has consistently been a champion for Nevada’s innovative business community and has advocated for policies that spur economic growth in the Silver State. She has also worked across the board to strengthen and diversify Nevada’s economy and create new jobs by securing funding for infrastructure upgrades, supporting Nevada’s manufacturing industry, and investing in Nevada’s booming clean-energy economy. She has supported programs and grants that provide job training to young Nevadans so they can access good-paying jobs without a four-year degree.
