Get ready for big changes to the 3C Event Complex and North Maine Street. The U.S. Department of the Interior announced today that Churchill County will receive $42 million in funding for improvements as part of an overall commitment of $375 million by the department to fund 36 projects aimed at enhancing recreational opportunities, conserving wildlife habitat, reducing hazardous fuels, and preventing wildfires across Nevada and the California side of the Lake Tahoe Basin.

“This funding will be transformative for Churchill County residents, allowing us to start several improvement projects at the 3C Event Complex and the North Maine Street ballfields for the benefit of the community. We will completely overhaul both facilities with vast improvements for teams, events, vendors, and spectators,” said Myles Getto, Chair of the Churchill County Commission. 

Improvements include renovating the county’s current fairgrounds, focusing on improving facilities to expand the number of participants for a variety of outdoor events, and completing renovations of the baseball/softball fields on North Maine Street.

At the 3C Event Complex, the project includes construction of a covered equestrian arena, expansion of existing arenas, renovation of the multipurpose building, bathrooms, concessions, field house, splash pad, shade structures, playground areas, seating areas, parking, biking, and walking paths, RV hook-ups, general beautification, and ADA and safety upgrades. 

At the North Maine Ball Parks, the funds will be used to completely replace existing ball field infrastructure and update and expand with more efficient facilities, including fields, concessions, restrooms, a field house, walking/biking paths, and paved parking.

The funding, sourced from the Bureau of Land Management Las Vegas Valley land sales under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA), marks a continued investment in sustainable community infrastructure for Churchill County and the City of Fallon.

Churchill County became part of the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) upon Congress passing the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, which authorized NAS Fallon to modernize its ranges. As part of SNPLMA, Churchill County is now eligible to apply for funding generated by the sale of federal lands in Southern Nevada. 

In early spring of 2023, the county submitted three projects for consideration as part of the Round 20 submittal process. Through several scoring rounds, the SNPLMA Executive Committee selected the 3C Event Complex renovation and the North Maine Street Ballfield improvements as eligible projects. It recommended their inclusion to the Secretary of the Interior for final approval. 

SNPLMA funds must benefit communities and public lands in one of seven project areas, including the creation of local parks, trails, and natural areas and projects that facilitate economic development and new employment. 

Draft improvement plans have been drawn up, and renovations will begin in the coming months.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
