LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Neighbors in a southwest Las Vegas Valley neighborhood are not giving up the fight to stop a new gas station from building in their backyard.
Tuesday night, neighbors living in the Trail Ridge community near Durango and Blue Diamond tried to send a clear message to the Clark County commission, more specifically, Justin Jones.
They say the new gas station will present health and safety concerns.
As FOX5 previously reported, not only did commissioners grant developers unanimous approval for the gas station, but they got special approval to build it closer to the neighborhood than they normally would.
It’s now 40 feet than the previous 200.

“Justin Jones and the Clark County commissioners are getting rich while our kids are getting sick,” said Larae Dicamillo, a neighbor. “This is inexcusable. Not one of those commissioners has a gas station in their backyard and they simply would not allow it.”
Earlier this month at a Clark County commission meeting, Dicamillo brought her concerns to the commission.
Jones said it’s too late to stop the build.
