A city official reported several city items of note to the Carson City Tourism Authority board: a State Historic Preservation Office certification, the donation and display of the state Capitol Christmas tree, and progress on the Centennial Park master plan.

Historic commission certification
The city reported that the State Historic Preservation Office conducted a quadrennial evaluation covering 2021 through June 30, 2025, and reaffirmed Carson City as a certified local government historic resources commission. The certification places Carson City among the four jurisdictions in Nevada with that designation, along with Las Vegas, Reno and Virginia City, the staff report said.

Capitol Christmas tree and related displays
City staff said the Humboldt‑Toiyabe National Forest supplied Nevadas Capitol Christmas tree, which will be on the Capitol Grounds and will be staged at Carson City Toyota on Nevada Day from 1 to 3 p.m. The city said each of Nevadas 17 counties contributed a wedge of a large tree skirt and county‑themed ornaments; smaller trees and ornaments will be sent to selected federal buildings in Washington, D.C.

Centennial Park master plan
Staff said the Parks and Recreation Commission approved a Centennial Park master plan draft that focuses on additional development of lower fields, activity areas and a proposed bike event area; the plan will be posted for public review and then forwarded to the Board of Supervisors.

Why it matters: the historic commission certification supports preservation work and may affect planning reviews; the Centennial Park plan outlines future recreation and event space that could influence tourism and park programming. The Capitol tree is a ceremonial item but also offers a statewide promotional opportunity through ornament displays and outreach.

Ending: staff asked stakeholders to monitor the Centennial Park master plan release and noted the historic commission certification as a formal recognition of local historic‑resource work.
