Lori Lightfoot: “It would be my intent to continue working on behalf of the Las Vegas, NV, courthouse because it is a high priority…”

On the recordJuly 16, 1996
It would be my intent to continue working on behalf of the Las Vegas, NV, courthouse because it is a high priority project. GSA and the courts have identified the need for this building, and I personally believe we should move forward with its construction. I also appreciate the gentleman's efforts in getting the city of Las Vegas to donate a construction site for this building. This will help reduce the overall cost of construction, and something that we should see more of, I think, the combination of Federal and local cooperation on these kinds of projects.
