Washoe County staff shows Gerlach how to use Neighborhood Development Hub and community input portal
Summary
Washoe County staff demonstrated the Neighborhood Development Hub and community input portal (wachocounty.gov), showing how residents can find upcoming neighborhood meetings, sign up for district news and submit anonymous or identified feedback that the county will route and track.
Candy Ramos of Washoe County provided the Gerlach Citizens Advisory Board with a step‑by‑step demonstration of the county’s Neighborhood Development Hub and community input portal, explaining how residents can find upcoming neighborhood meetings, sign up for district news, and submit feedback to county staff.
Ramos said the portal is a central place to integrate community feedback into development plans early in the process so promises made to residents (for example, traffic mitigation or placement of stoplights) can be documented and included in project plans. She highlighted that Gerlach currently has no active neighborhood development meetings listed and encouraged residents to sign up for District 5 notifications.
Ramos also discussed the Washoe County Leadership Academy, which she said typically opens applications in the summer but had not posted dates yet for the next cohort. She noted the community input portal allows anonymous submissions but that residents who want a response should provide contact information.
Board members asked about application deadlines and about using the portal as an alternative to the county’s 311 service. Ramos encouraged the board to use the portal and to share it with constituents who prefer web‑based input channels.
