Apex Area Technical Corrections Act
Introduced Jan 22, 2025 by Rep. Steven Horsford
Signed into law.
This act directs the Department of the Interior to grant certain rights-of-way related to the Apex Project (an industrial park) to Clark County in Nevada, the city of North Las Vegas, and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association. Thus, the act expedites the federal permitting process for expanding the industrial park's infrastructure.
Specifically, the act directs Interior to grant utility and transportation rights-of-way to the city of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association for the connection of existing electric power, water, natural gas, telephone, railroad, and highway facilities to lands within the Apex Project site. (Interior is already directed to grant such rights-of-way to Clark County.)
Interior must also grant to the county, the city, and association such rights-of-way on public lands as may be necessary to support the development of the industrial park as a heavy use industrial zone. (Currently, Interior may grant the rights-of-way to the county.)
The act also requires that the withdrawal of the transferred lands within the Apex Site from all forms of entry and appropriation under the public land laws (e.g., leasing the land for minerals) continue in perpetuity.
