I saw this last week but didn't get a chance to do anything on it. The Nugget Project has a new name: The Carson City Center Project.
Why? It seems the Nugget name was getting in the way, as people focused on what it will do to help the Carson Nugget. It should be noted, however, that it was the city who deemed this the Nugget Project.
But do you think a new name will really change the perceptions about this project? Do you think the name will stick?
