Paul Harmon is seeking reelection to the Ward 3 seat on the Fallon City Council, citing infrastructure improvements, housing, and long-term planning among his priorities for the city’s future.
Harmon, who has served on the council for the past three and a half years, said Fallon continues to face several major issues, including housing availability, health care access, and ongoing street and road maintenance. He said the city has already approved several housing projects, but rising construction costs and economic conditions have delayed development.
“I would prioritize these in that order: housing, health care, and road/street maintenance,” Harmon said.
He also emphasized the importance of maintaining Fallon’s quality of life while planning for growth. Harmon said the city has consistently encouraged development “in a smart manner” and supports infrastructure planning years in advance to prepare for future needs.
“I support growth but not at the expense of the quality of life for our citizens,” Harmon said.
Part of Harmon’s focus includes continued investment in city infrastructure and community spaces. He mentioned upcoming street reconstruction projects on Auction Road and Kaiser Street, upgrades to aging sewer and water systems, ongoing airport improvements, and continued investments in parks, including Laura Mills Park and Oats Park.
Harmon also stressed the importance of Fallon’s partnerships with organizations, including Western Nevada College, Banner Churchill Community Hospital, the Central Nevada Health District, and Naval Air Station Fallon. He said supporting health care training, workforce development, and military partnerships remains important for the community’s long-term success.
“Fallon is a military town, and we are proud of that,” Harmon said. “We need to support housing needs and local businesses so that all thrive in our entire community.”
Harmon said he plans to continue working closely with city staff, county leaders, and community organizations if reelected.
“I believe city staff have a feeling of what is happening and what is needed in the city, and I will continue to collaborate with them on all projects and issues,” Harmon said.
