A proposal for a convenience store on the northeast corner of Durango and Grand Teton drives was tabled following a request by Las Vegas City Councilman Steven Ross at a June 6 Las Vegas City Council meeting, after another request was received from the same applicant for an abeyance.
By tabling the item, the applicant is required to notify all residents within that area when the item will be back before council. At press time, Ross had not received any updated information on this development.
