"Planning for the People, Planning for Tomorrow"

In the late 1990’s the City of West Wendover established its Community Development Department. This Department with its five staff members performs several vital functions for the City including: General community development information, statistics and demographics, planning and zoning, plan approvals, building permit approvals, regulations and requirements, code development and compliance, business licensing, community events planning, community advertising and other matters related to the development and growth of the City.

In addition, the Community Development Department operates the City’s Tourism and Convention Bureau, which provides visitors to our city with community and area tourism information and assistance, ensuring that all visitors receive our Nevada trademark hospitality and friendly service with a smile.

Tourism and Convention Bureau

In the spring of 2001, the City of West Wendover established under the Community Development Department the West Wendover Tourism & Convention Bureau.  The primary purpose of the Bureau was to operate the Nevada Welcome Center located on Wendover Boulevard, which in the past had been staffed by other organizations including Wendover USA and the Wendover Area Chamber of Commerce.  Under the direction of the Community Development Director, the staff of three operates the Welcome Center and welcomes visitors to our community from all across the globe.  In addition to providing visitors with information on the area and sites of interest, etc., the Bureau also helps to promote community wide activities including the annual Cinco De Mayo Celebration held the first Sunday in May of each year as well as the annual July 4th Celebration among others.  Through professional staffing and proper presentation of our community and its people through a welcoming smile, the Bureau has been recognized as one of the most responsive, friendly and well maintained facilities in the western United States.
