And back on Nevada Newsmakers, we're pleased to welcome back to the program Kathleen Taylor.
We had invited your opponent to be on the program for a debate, and unfortunately she was not available to be on the program.
Because so many people talk about Reno when they're running for office, about all the negative things, and every community has negative things.
So talk to me about the Jay Resort, Jeff Jacobs, a billion dollar investment plus in downtown Reno, only 200 acres to develop.
You've got the Reno City soccer that's coming online, fingers crossed, with the financing and everything else.
And we've done so many great things in the last four years in the city of Reno since I've been there with our redevelopment agency.
We are out of debt for the first time in 20 years, which allows us to invest more in the downtown core and the redevelopment agencies.
So some of the projects that you were talking about are getting you know they're coming in and we're helping them with redevelopment agency money but the amount of money that we're investing just on the river walk with lighting safety improvements bigger path it's over 10 million dollars We're working with the university on the University Village.
We've talked, I mean, how many years have we been talking about bringing the university downtown, and it's finally happening, and that's happening because of the redevelopment agency, which is the city council.
