Neoma Jardon is the Executive Director of the Downtown Reno Partnership and gave an excellent presentation on what is being done to create a safe, clean and vibrant Downtown Reno.
The Ambassador Services for the homeless has reduced demand for emergency services. Along with regional collaboration and the opening of the Nevada CARES campus, unsheltered homelessness has been reduced by 42%. There has been a reduction of nuisance crime by 50%. Graffiti is getting quickly removed. Based on assessment fees collected, property value has risen 30.2%.
If you are downtown and see anything of concern (graffiti, garbage, new encampments, etc.), you can get a rapid corrective response by calling the Ambassador Program at:
775-313-4080
It is heartening to see the positive changes to the downtown corridor of my hometown.
