Since the first donation was made in 2020, Polaris Plaza has been imagined as a front porch to what has become the Fernley Community Response and Resource Center.
Work toward that vision took a big step forward last week with the beginning of fencing and landscaping in the area.
Polaris Industries donated $100,000 to the Fernley Community Foundation in 2020, at the time the second-biggest donation in the city’s history, behind the $3 million donated by the William Pennington Foundation to build the Fernley Senior Center.
Polaris Plaza is the space directly east of the historic Fernley Depot on Main Street and north of the CRRC building on Lois Lane.
All Out Fencing installed the fencing on Nov. 7, and on Nov. 12, several Lowe’s employees helped begin installing landscaping. Lowe’s donated $2,000 in materials for the landscaping.
Walmart also donated $5,000 to the Fernley Community Foundation for the project.
Fernley Community Foundation Board Member Tina Kostrzeski, Chairman Cody Wagner, and Rotary Club of Fernley past president William Shattuck also participated.
Wagner said they hope to have the work on the project completed by spring 2026.
