By: Scott Muelrath, President & CEO, Henderson Chamber of Commerce In the June 9 Primary Election, Henderson voters will decide the future of our award-winning Parks and Recreation Department with Question 1. If approved, Question 1 would renew the existing property tax rate of 12 cents per $100 of assessed value that has funded Henderson Parks and Recreation since 1997. This is not a new tax. For nearly 30 years, this investment has supported the parks, trails, recreation centers, sports fields, senior programs, and community amenities that residents and businesses rely on every day. It is the continuation of a long-standing funding source that has helped make Henderson one of the most desirable cities in Nevada and one of the best places in the country to live, work, and raise a family. More than 8 in 10 Americans say access to parks and recreation influences where they choose to live. Businesses consider those same factors when deciding where to relocate, expand, or invest. Quality-of-life amenities are no longer “extras”, they are part of the economic foundation of competitive cities. Today, Henderson ranks among the top 25 park systems in the nation and holds four-time CAPRA accreditation, the only parks agency in Nevada with that distinction. Those achievements reflect decades of thoughtful planning, responsible investment, and community support. If Question 1 fails, Henderson Parks and Recreation would lose approximately 40% of its operating budget. The impact would not happen overnight, but over time the consequences would become increasingly visible: deferred maintenance, reduced programming, fewer youth and sports tournaments, scaled-back senior services, and slower facility repairs. Gradually, the quality of life that has helped define Henderson would begin to erode. For Henderson’s business community, this issue goes beyond parks. It is about maintaining the kind of city where employers can attract talent, where families want to stay, and where businesses continue to invest with confidence. That is why the Henderson Chamber of Commerce’s IMPAC proudly supports a YES vote on Question 1. Protect what makes Henderson exceptional. Maintain the investment that has strengthened our community for generations. Keep Henderson competitive. Vote YES on Question 1. Early voting is Saturday, May 23 through Friday, June 5. The 2026 Primary Election is Tuesday, June 9. For more election information, including polling locations, please visit the Secretary of State’s website or the Clark County website .
