The 2002 Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act also established a 2,640-foot wide
Transportation and Utilities Corridor (TUC) for the non-exclusive placement of transportation and utilities
infrastructure between the Las Vegas Valley and SNSA.
The CCDOA has proposed to construct the Airport on land that was conveyed by patent to the County pursuant to
the Ivanpah Valley Airport Public Lands Act of 2000. The SNSA site, which is located on part of a dry lakebed or
playa known as Roach Lake, is bordered by Interstate 15 (I-15) on the west and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks
on the east. Under a provision in the 2002 Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act,
the County is authorized to acquire an additional 17,000 acres of land to serve as a compatibility buffer (the
17,000 acres) if the CCDOA receives approval from the FAA and BLM to construct the SNSA.
Planning for the Future of Clark County
The Clark County Department of Aviation (CCDOA) owns and operates various airport facilities in Clark County,
Nevada, including Harry Reid International Airport. The airport has experienced robust growth as Las Vegas has
become a major leisure destination market and conference venue. The forecast aviation growth cannot all be
accommodated at the present LAS site; thus, the CCDOA is planning the construction and operation of the Southern
Nevada Supplemental Airport. The Airport is intended to provide long-term aviation capacity for the Las Vegas
metropolitan area, primarily serving charter, long-haul domestic, and international flights.
Current Phase
The Airport site is located within the Ivanpah Valley of Clark County, Nevada, approximately 23 miles
south of the hotel/casino corridor in Las Vegas.
