Carson City Supervisors will consider a large redevelopment plan for downtown at their Thursday morning meeting.

"We are ripe for a perfect storm only it's gonna be a perfect storm of blossom not devastation," Tammy Westgard of the Carson City Office of Business Development said.

The area targeted in the plan for redevelopment is eight acres of mostly parking lots behind the Carson Nugget, and mostly owned by the Nugget. Together with the Nugget, Carson City is considering putting in office space, retail, a new library, residential, a public plaza and maybe even an ice-skating rink -- and that's a partial list of projects. The director of the Carson City Library says a new library would draw people downtown.

"They might come over to the Nugget and have breakfast or they might go get coffee or do some other kind of retail thing and we're bringing all that energy down here," Library Director Sara Jones said.

The plaza next to the Commission on Tourism is hint of what the project might look like. It was done through redevelopment, and features tables with chairs in an outdoor, illuminated setting.

"We don't anticipate that this is going to be a drain on any taxpayer to a large degree what this is going to be is a stimulus, our own little local stimulus," Carson City Supervisor Robin Williamson said.

Williamson said the price tag of the ambitious plan isn't known yet. But she said it holds the promise of helping businesses downtown and getting people back to work through construction and creation of new businesses.
