Henderson, NV – Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada’s Third District released the following statement today on the announcement that the Nevada Test Site will become home to the Solar Demonstration Zone.

“This effort to bring the research and development of cutting edge solar energy projects to Southern Nevada is a critical step toward turning the Silver State into a leader in a new clean energy economy.  This type of development will bring important investments and jobs to our community.  The Test Site’s selection over 25 competing sites is a testament to our commitment to invest in renewable energy and a reminder of how vital it is that we continue to lay the foundation for future projects in an increasingly competitive field.  It is fitting that the Test Site, which was at the forefront of winning the Cold War, will once again assume a leadership position in the effort to build a clean energy future.”
