Governor Lombardo Advocates for Nevada Representation on Joint Task Force on Federal Land for Housing

Carson City, NV -- On March 27, 2025, Governor Joe Lombardo sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner, following their recent announcement of the Joint Task Force on Federal Land for Housing. In his letter, Governor Lombardo praised the launch of the unprecedented task force, while requesting representation for Nevada on the task force.

“As you know, more than 85% of Nevada’s land is managed by the federal government. This significantly limits our ability to expand housing availability, since growth is stifled by the lack of land available for development,” writes Governor Lombardo in his letter. “As your agencies stand up the Task Force, I hope you will consider including stakeholders from Nevada. Our lands experts, housing partners, and local governments stand ready to assist and support you.”
