LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The City of Henderson has officially chosen a developer for the former Fiesta Henderson site, more than two years after its closure.
In a Tuesday announcement, the city announced Woodbury Corporation as the new developer. The company will lead the discussion on the next steps for the site, and present the negotiating agreement to the Redevelopment Agency on Tuesday, Aug. 20.
“Woodbury Corporation’s proposal and design aligned with the vision the City and our residents have for this property,” said Jared Smith, Director of Economic Development and Tourism for the City of Henderson. “Our residents let us know that they want a family-oriented destination with entertainment and sports offerings, and we look forward to that becoming a reality.”
The announcement comes after the city released a feedback survey last September, seeking public input about potential on-site amenities.
From more than 5,600 responses, developers noted the following feedback on what the site could become:
- Indoor sports facility as a primary use
- Family-oriented entertainment and arts and culture as supporting uses
- Diverse array of public spaces, and a wide variety of options to support this site as a “destination”
- Strong desire for return on investment given the publicly funded nature of the site.
