Clark County aims to encourage creation of more apartments

Clark County residents should expect to see more mid- and large-sized apartment complexes built over the next two decades to meet the demand for housing, especially affordable housing. That was one key takeaway from a July 30 county work session on how to implement code changes for middle housing adopted last year.

Middle housing, which is multi-unit housing types with higher density than single-family homes but less density than high-rise apartments, is often more affordable. So it was identified as one solution in the county’s Housing Options Study and Action Plan adopted in 2022.
