Clark County Commissioners Grant $35M Infrastructure Bond for South Las Vegas Medical Corridor

LAS VEGAS, NV — The Clark County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Tuesday to authorize the issuance of $35 million in special revenue bonds to construct vital public utility and roadway infrastructure for the expanding South Las Vegas Medical District.

Infrastructure Scope and Medical Campus Expansion

The capital funding finances the widening of Warm Springs Road, installation of high-capacity dual-feed electrical and natural gas conduits, dedicated emergency ambulance bypass lanes, and advanced traffic signal preemption systems connecting to Interstate 15.

The public infrastructure enables the development of a planned 250-bed regional acute care hospital, specialized pediatric surgical suites, and medical research laboratories developed by UNLV Health.

Healthcare Capacity Stakes in Southern Nevada

Commission Chair Tick Segerblom highlighted that Southern Nevada historically faces severe specialist physician and acute hospital bed shortages relative to its rapidly expanding population.

The expanded medical corridor is projected to support over 1,400 permanent healthcare jobs and provide accessible trauma and cardiac care for residents across southwest Las Vegas and Henderson.

Construction Milestones

Roadway grading and deep utility installation will commence in November 2026, with arterial road widenings completed by late 2027.
