District Council 16 IUPAT Applauds Approval of Tropicana Land Development aka the A’s Baseball Stadium! 

Las Vegas, NV – District Council 16 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) celebrates the recent approval of UC-25-0125-Tropicana Land, LLC’s development proposal, a decision poised to significantly benefit our union members.

The approved project encompasses a diverse range of facilities, including a recreational or entertainment venue (ballpark), live entertainment spaces, vocational training centers, office spaces, outdoor dining and market areas, and provisions for mobile food vendors. Additionally, the development received waivers for certain development standards, such as adjustments to street landscaping, electric vehicle charging spaces, loading spaces, allowances for off-site temporary construction activities, and modifications to driveway designs.

Our union’s business representatives were actively involved and spoke on behalf of the DC16 IUPAT during the proceedings. This engagement ensured that the interests of our members were well-represented and considered. The presence and advocacy of our representatives underscore our commitment to securing projects that provide substantial employment opportunities and favorable working conditions for our members!

That means more work hours for our members—from the initial building phase to the final touches, skilled labor will be needed. Additionally, the economic activity generated by this project could spur the creation of more construction jobs in the local area, benefiting the broader union workforce. Upon completion, the Tropicana Land project will not only create immediate job opportunities but also establish long-term employment prospects for our members. Ongoing maintenance, renovation, and occasional updates to the property will require specialized tradespeople for years to come. With venues such as a ballpark and entertainment facilities, regular upkeep will be necessary to ensure these spaces remain in optimal condition.

The approval of this development is a testament to the collaborative efforts between labor and industry, resulting in a project that promises to enhance the local economy and offer our members valuable opportunities. District Council 16 remains dedicated to advocating for developments that align with our mission to empower, improve, educate, and create a positive impact on our communities.
