Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 15th of September.
Good morning, Henderson.
🏘️ Community
Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada completed a home revitalization project in Henderson—using a $15,000 Wells Fargo Foundation grant and volunteer support—to refresh paint, add decorative rock, and clean the yard for a local homeowner.
The project improved the home’s safety and livability.
🏛️ Government
State officials restored the Brady Firearms Unit background check system at 8:00 a.m. Sunday after a cyber incident disrupted statewide network services.
Governor Joe Lombardo said he was pleased that licensed dealers can now submit background checks electronically via the FFL Portal while phone support was also restored, though some non-portal transactions may face short delays as systems stabilize.
The Nevada DOT announced lane and ramp closures on I-15 for the South Widening Project running from September 14 to September 19.
Motorists face nightly work from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.—with one-lane restrictions on southbound I-15 between Blue Diamond Rd and Starr Ave on Sunday and today and with additional lane reductions from Tuesday to Friday.
🏥 Health
The American Red Cross Southern Nevada Chapter is urging Peanuts fans to donate blood and receive an exclusive mystery bag with one of four limited-edition T-shirt designs in celebration of 75 years of the comic strip.
Donations must be made by Sunday, September 21—appointments can be scheduled using the Blood Donor App, online options, or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
