Livermore legislation signed by Gov. Sandoval to preserve Nevada State Prison for tourism
Assemblyman Pete Livermore, Carson City Mayor Robert Crowell and members of the Nevada State Prison Preservation Society assembled late Tuesday afternoon to witness Gov. Brian Sandoval sign off on the recommendation to study the feasibility of turning the historic prison into a visitor's museum/attraction.
The board of the NSPPS will have two years to come up with a plan and financing to turn this into a tourist attraction. Assemblyman Livermore (with the help of the Mayor) authored this bill that went unopposed in both houses and was signed about 5 p.m. Tuesday. The NSPPS is looking for a few good people to help in this historic process. Thanks, Pete, for getting the process this far!
