## Resource

A group of property owners in the Arts District have a new plan to invest in the neighborhood's future, and Sam Cherry of Cherry Development joins us to break down what a Business Improvement District actually is and why they feel this is the right time to bring it to the Arts District. Nevada Current reporter Michael "MJ" Lyle also helps us unpack the latest twist in the Boulder City data center saga and why a proposed private gas power plant in Northern Nevada may have just unlocked an entirely new fear in the state's data center debate. Plus, executive producer Layla Muhammad breaks down a sobering new report on wages lagging in the valley and how it doesn't mesh with the barrier for entry to homeownership in Southern Nevada.
