KTNV — We know rising prices due to tariffs have impacted many of you here in the valley, so we're learning about how a local Chamber of Commerce is looking to help during his economic uncertainty.
Plus, we're looking ahead to the Clark County Commission meeting today and some interesting items on the agenda.
Help on the way to local manufacturing businesses facing unknown when it comes to tariffs
We know rising prices due to tariffs have impacted many of you here in the valley, including local businesses that are also dealing with the unknown when it comes to tariffs and might worry about what comes next.
This morning, we're hearing from a local business that says that the way they're currently operating under the volatility of these tariffs isn't sustainable.
Anyssa Bohanan is in Henderson with more on how the Chamber of Commerce there plans to help manufacturing businesses across the city during this economic uncertainty.
Ahead today on the Clark County Commission agenda
We're tracking local government here at Channel 13 and there are three things you should know about on the Clark County Commission agenda today.
Commissioners are set to terminate the county's contract with McDermott's Funeral and Cremation Service. This comes after the State Funeral Board voted to revoke McDermott's license. In August, we told you state inspectors had discovered disturbing conditions inside the facility.
A new Nevada law that recently went into effect opens the door for restaurants to deliver cocktails, but it's up to each county and city to decide whether they want to establish an ordinance to allow that in their jurisdiction. Today, commissioners are expected to discuss that possibility in Clark County.
And we know mosquitoes have been especially bad in some parts of the valley this year, so commissioners are also expected to discuss potentially creating a Mosquito Abatement District, a local agency responsible for managing and reducing mosquito populations.
