After a 'problematic' and 'backwards' process and an hours long, contentious meeting - Reno will soon accept offers to purchase the old homeless shelter on Record St. It came after an unsolicited bid from developer Bash Capital to build housing. mynews4.com/news/local/aft…
Opinion: The Reno City Council must coordinate community conversations around how the Community Assistance Center properties can best serve the city that built them. 👉 Read More on This Is Reno. getreno.news/gau
Hey! Did anyone know that @RTCWashoe is currently updating their Regional Transportation Plan and are looking public input? They've posted 0 times about it on here so...here you go! rtcwashoe.mysocialpinpoint.com
Reno city manager Doug Thornley resigns. No reason was given for his resignation. 👉 Report on This Is Reno: getreno.news/ue8
This week's edition discusses an offer for the City's Community Assistance Center; more public meetings on affordable and infill housing initiatives; proposed designs for Locomotion Plaza, Virginia Street, Wingfield and Barbara Bennett Parks & more. thebarberbrief.substack.com/p/designs-and-…
Couple notable items on next week's Reno City Council agenda, including a possible deal for the old Record St. homeless shelter. Bash Capital wants to buy the shelter for $1.5M OR for $1 with an agreement to develop a multifamily project with 51% of units below 80% AMI
Some had issues simultaneously opening the survey & digital version of the Wingfield/Barbara Bennett Parks Master Plan Concepts, so to make it a little easier, we found a big ol' printer & put the plans up on the ground floor! Stop by 9a - 4p before Fri to view them & give input!
The Affordable Housing Initiatives item was removed from the March 27 Reno City Council agenda with a promise of more public engagement, plus this week’s public meetings, news & resources from @ULINevada, @washoecounty, @TMRPAtweets & more.

The @CityofReno created the Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board in 1990, and without any explanation, quietly dissolved it in 2018. It's time to bring back the RAAB and in today's Brief, I explain why. Plus, previews and updates from other city meetings. thebarberbrief.substack.com/p/bring-back-r…
This is the second month in a row that the monthly Ward 1 NAB meeting has been cancelled for lack of quorum. It has 7 vacancies & only 4 members. Can the @CityofReno actively recruit to repopulate it? These meetings are the first place most residents hear of development projects.

Commercial districts can stumble along with quite a lot of upper-story vacancy (see: every small town main street, and now many big-city downtowns post-covid). But *ground floor* vacancy is the kiss of death. Nothing more quickly makes a place feel desolate, even dangerous.
@BenMargiott @NaomiDuerr @MayorSchieve Why? For the love of all that is holy are we going to start a fight in MidTown...on Virginia Street...AGAIN?! WE JUST DID THAT! Also, do you remember which option(s) you supported back then? Are there not other places that need improvement?
