Fernley seeks public input on 2050 Master Plan

Fernley seeks public input on 2050 Master Plan

The City of Fernley is asking residents to help shape the community’s future as work continues on an update to the city’s 2050 Master Plan.

The plan will guide decisions about how Fernley grows and develops over the next 25 years. It will address issues including housing, transportation, parks, economic development, public services and other community priorities.

City officials are encouraging residents to complete a community questionnaire and share their thoughts about Fernley’s needs, challenges and opportunities.

Public feedback will help planners develop a long-term vision that reflects the priorities of the people who live and work in the community.

Residents do not need to be longtime Fernley residents to participate. The city is seeking input from people who have lived in Fernley for decades, as well as those who have recently moved to the area.

The questionnaire asks residents to consider how the community should grow, what services and amenities are most important and what issues city leaders should consider as they plan for Fernley’s future.

The master plan is intended to provide a framework for future policy and development decisions. While it does not approve individual projects, it helps guide city officials when considering land use, infrastructure, transportation, public facilities and economic development.

Residents can complete the Community Questionnaire at:

Additional information about the planning process is available on the project website at:

City officials are also asking residents to share the questionnaire with friends, family members and neighbors so the planning process includes as much community input as possible.

The city said public participation is an important part of creating a plan that reflects Fernley’s needs and priorities.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
