Clark County has agreed to an $80-86 million settlement with Gypsum Resources, allowing the developer to proceed with a 3,500-home project on Blue Diamond Hill near Red Rock Canyon. This decision concludes a nearly 20-year legal battle and aims to prevent further financial liabilities for the county. However, the settlement has sparked frustration among county workers who are already dealing with staffing shortages and inflation. Heather Fisher of Save Red Rock and other conservationists have raised concerns about the potential environmental impact on the wildlife in Red Rock Canyon. Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson described the settlement as 'the best we can do,' while County Manager Kevin Schiller highlighted the county's financial solvency as a key factor in the decision.
