We're proud to announce that Accion Opportunity Fund has provided $10.5 million in NMTC financing, in partnership with other organizations, to support the construction of a state-of-the-art, 40,430 square foot library in West Las Vegas.
This incredible facility will not only offer traditional library services but will also become a crucial community hub, offering family learning programs, social and healthcare services, and workforce development opportunities. With a focus on serving low-income and minority populations, this library is set to impact over 23,000 individuals annually, including 5,400 at-risk youth.
📊 Project Community Impacts at a Glance:
-23,100 unique individuals served annually, with 80% being low-income.
-75% of those served are minorities.
-5,400 at-risk youth will benefit from the services.
-195 construction jobs supported, with 156 for low-income individuals.
-40.5 permanent full-time jobs created or retained, with 16 for low-income individuals.
In a neighborhood where the poverty rate exceeds 55% and the unemployment rate is more than three times the national average, this project is more than just a building—it's a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.
Stay tuned as we work to bring this vision to life and make a lasting difference in the West Las Vegas community! 📚
