Carson City Supervisors recently rejected a recommendation from the city's Growth Management Commission that would have designated a portion of available building permits specifically for affordable housing units.
The proposal would have increased growth allocations by 3 percent, with 2 percent for market-rate housing and 1 percent set aside for affordable housing starts specifically targeting workforce housing.
While Mayor Lori Bagwell cited her denial in language and definition concerns, Supervisor Maurice White stated that Carson City “has enough affordable housing.”
