Departments > Economic and Urban Development

The Economic and Urban Development Department (EUD) creates, coordinates and encourages new development and redevelopment throughout the city of Las Vegas. It increases and diversifies the city’s economic base, and creates jobs, through business attraction, retention and expansion programs.

In addition, this newly expanded department now includes employees who oversee and manage local, state and federal grants used to provide public services, develop public facilities and support affordable housing for low income Las Vegas families. The majority of grants are received from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of entitlement funding. These grants are used to operate numerous programs such as youth education, literacy, job training and English proficiency, as well as homeless services and shelter, senior nutrition, rent assistance and new construction of affordable housing and community centers, to name a few.

The EUD coordinates with the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA)  on day-to-day operations, economic development, job creation and long-term strategic goals.
