Open house today to discuss City Center Project

The public is invited to attend an informational meeting from 5:30-7:30 p.m. today at the Carson City Community Center on the proposed Carson City Center Project, formerly known as the Nugget project.

P3 Development's architectural team will present a concept master plan showing placement of proposed public and commercial facilities on eight downtown acres behind the Carson Nugget.

The architects will give a short presentation at 6:30 p.m. in the Sierra Room, and representatives of P3 Development and the architects will be available from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. to answer questions.

The presentation at 6:30 p.m. also will be televised on local public access television, Charter Cable Channel 226.

The plans will show the intended locations and sizes of the elements which include a library, plaza, public transit hub, office buildings, retail space and residential units. It will also reflect proposed traffic flow, parking, access and impacts on streets.

P3 Development is under contract with the Carson City Redevelopment Authority and the Mae B. Adams Trust to perform a feasibility analysis for the proposed project.

The feasibility analysis is scheduled to be completed in early September, after which the Carson City Board of Supervisors will consider the developer's conclusions and recommendations.

Community feedback will be gathered through written comment cards at the open house. Comments also can be sent to P3 Development Inc., 1860 Howe Avenue, Suite 440, Sacramento, CA 95825, Attn: Carson City Center Project, or e-mailed to the project manager at mcourtney@pthree
