A project is underway to beautify an older part of Las Vegas and the work is being done by a 13-year-old.
The Rancho Springs Neighborhood Association is painting a mural on sound walls on U.S. 95 near Rancho. The person behind it is Josh Godman.
He had the idea of creating southwest paintings after seeing designs along soundwalls throughout the valley.
“We just have a big grey wall so we should put some of that stuff up here to beautify the neighborhood,” Godman said.
“I think it is important for the community to see the kids doing something positive. Sometimes we don't get that message and there are a lot of great kids doing a lot of good things so this is an opportunity for for them to be able to see that,” said Kelly Woods, senior neighborhood services specialist.
The project is partially funded by the city of Las Vegas. The city does have another grant available for a similar project and the deadline is quickly approaching. It is September 12. Click here if you would like more information on how to apply.
