Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell announces bid for reelection
Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell announced his intention to run for a third term this morning at a meeting of minority business leaders at La Posada Real restaurant.
"We are going to build a community for the future, and we aren't going to leave anybody behind," Crowell said.
The following is a press release from the mayor:
CARSON CITY, Nev. – Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell announced his bid for re-election during a breakfast meeting of minority business leaders on November 6. Crowell said he invited the group to listen to their input on the issues that matter to them, update them on what’s going on in the community and region and to let them know that they are an important part of the Carson City community.
“I believe in a community where citizens of all ages, demographics and ethnic backgrounds can feel safe and be part of a greater whole, where differing ideologies and opinions are respected,” Crowell said. “Mutual respect and inclusivity are at the core of creating a sustainable quality of life in Carson City.”
Crowell said that after some 30 years of effort, Nevada is finally on the brink of achieving economic diversification, particularly with the “brass ring” handed to Northern Nevada by Tesla, Switch, Apple and others. With thanks to a hard working community, Carson City is primed to participate in the benefits and challenges of such diversification.
“The new freeways between Carson City, Reno and east toward Fernley are going to lead to a huge economic and demographic diversification in our area,” he said. “With the imminent completion of the Carson City by-pass it also means we must finish the task of creating attractive and appealing corridor entrances to our city as well as our downtown core.”
Crowell said the city has taken some rather large steps towards creating the infrastructure suggested in Envision 2006, the 2006 Carson City Master Plan. It is now time to build on that infrastructure to bring the community’s vision to fruition.
“While we still have more to do, the basic infrastructure has been created,” he said. “To realize the full potential of these infrastructure changes it is important to support community implementation efforts. At the end of the day, we want to have Carson City, the capital of our great state, present a face that can be looked upon with pride by all.”
Citing Carson City’s progress in building a biking and walking friendly community with plenty of open space thanks to Question 18, a flourishing arts community, a first class hospital and state of the art cancer treatment center and children’s sports programs, museum and the Boys & Girls Club, to mention but a few, Crowell said Carson City is not just a nice place to live, work, play and raise a family, it also has the ability to sustain such quality of life though the decades.
“We are seeking a sustainable community that lives up to our City motto—Proud of our Past, Confident in our Future,” he said. “We have lots of places for all our residents to enjoy a quality of life that is unparalleled anywhere in the United States of America, and quite frankly, in my opinion, anywhere in the world.”
