builders laud Guinn land plan

REVIEW-JOURNAL CAPITAL BUREAU
CARSON CITY --
With land in Las Vegas selling for $600,000 to $800,000 an acre,
a representative for developers expects home buyers will welcome
an innovative proposal by the governor to cut housing costs.
Gov. Kenny Guinn
unveiled a plan Monday for the state to acquire parcels of
federal land throughout Nevada. Private developers would build
homes and condominiums on the acreage, which would be kept in a
state trust.
Individuals
purchasing the homes would pay only the cost of the housing
unit, and not of the land.
"What the governor is
doing is extremely laudable," said Irene Porter, executive
director of the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association. "It
is really worth taking a shot on."
