The Esmeralda County Town Square Project received a $250,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) federal grant program. The grant funds the development of a new tourism and event space in the historic town of Goldfield, Nevada to help the region recover from adverse economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and diversify local opportunities. Specifically, the project will construct a covered seating area, outdoor stage, concessions facilities, and restrooms at the town square to support tourism and events. Completion of these public works and infrastructure improvements aims to make the regional economy more resilient to fluctuations in tourism by increasing employment and spurring private investment throughout Esmeralda County. The sub-awardee, Esmeralda County, will deliver the project services through development of the town square facilities in Goldfield by the award date of September 26, 2022.
