Minden, NV – In March 2024, Douglas County officials solicited bids to begin construction of Muller Parkway. The project aims to alleviate traffic congestion in Minden and Gardnerville, offering an alternative route to the main U.S. Route 395 through town.
Due to a pending injunction by Park Ranch Holdings filed in August 2024, the project remains at a standstill. In response, Douglas County has released the following statement:
“The County continues to cooperate and coordinate with Park Ranch Holdings during the construction of Muller Parkway. The County has already addressed many if not all of the concerns expressed and will continue to address their concerns going forward. However, the County will not allow Park Ranch Holdings to use Muller Parkway as a means of leverage to obtain more than Park Ranch Holdings is entitled to, especially when Park Ranch Holdings’ demands would more than double the cost for the residents of Douglas County. The County remains fully committed to fulfilling its obligations to construct Muller Parkway by December 2025; however, this latest filing—initiated by Park Ranch Holding—will likely impact the ability of the County to meet its objectives.”
