The North Las Vegas City Council unanimously agreed Wednesday night to ask officials with the federal Bureau of Land Management to auction a 22-acre chunk of land that could be purchased by a developer.

The developer, whose name was not disclosed, asked city officials whether the land could be purchased for an unspecified industrial project at the BLM-owned property located in the northeast part of town, near the 215 Beltway and a section of the Union Pacific Railroad line.

Moving forward, the BLM will now decide whether to hold a competitive auction for the site in Spring 2019, according to a city report.
