This is the second summer of the City of Reno’s accelerated neighborhood street program. It is a preventive maintenance plan that is cost efficient and less hassle for residents than the complete overhaul of a street.

Reno joined with JBR Environmental and a UNR student to design and install a wetland in a northwest Reno neighborhood in a pilot project to take sulfide out of the creek that flows through the area.

The Reno City Council has accepted a $2,555 grant from the Nevada Arts Council for an art education program for senior citizens.

The funding will provide a series of artist-led workshops, which culminate in community performances by adults 55 years and older, focusing on music of the late 1920’s through the early 1940’s.

The grant will be matched by the City of Reno through a variety of in-kind sources including Parks, Recreation, and Community Service staff time, facility use, design services, and program budget. There will not be any financial impact to the City’s general fund.
