The owner of the Sands Regency hotel-casino is requesting a dozen incentives from the city of Reno as part of the downtown Neon Line project, including millions of dollars in discounts to purchase city-owned property and a large chunk of future tax revenue as part of a proposed new tax district.
The Reno Neon Line is an ambitious redevelopment project that aims to turn the West Fourth Street corridor into a tourist destination while adding new housing. Plans for the district that were included in the proposal to the city by Jacobs Entertainment include between 2,000 to 3,000 residential units; entertainment venues such as a 6,000-seat, open-air amphitheater; commercial retail; a plaza and green space; and several art installations that include Burning Man sculptures.

ALBANY & SCHOHARIE An appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling that members of the Hussain family can’t sell four properties they own in the Capital Region while family members face potential civil liability for the 2018 Schoharie limousine crash in which 20 people were killed.
The five-judge Third Department Appellate Division last Thursday upheld a 2019 ruling by state Supreme Court Judge Thomas Buchanan that blocked the properties from being put up for sale, concluding that could be an effort to diminish the assets of the family.
The decision came on a case brought by the estate of Amanda Halse, one of the 17 young adult passengers killed in the Oct. 18, 2018, crash at the intersection of state routes 30 and 30A in Schoharie. The estate is concerned that selling the properties could make is easier for the defendants to hide assets or shift them beyond the reach of U.S. courts
