LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — An idea that has been within the works for years, “The Space 2.0,” was introduced Monday afternoon. Will probably be a first-of-its-kind, psychological well being heart specializing in serving to leisure performers, first responders, veterans, college students and educators within the Clark County Faculty District.
The middle may also present medical health insurance choices for entertainers who could also be in between jobs along with monetary lessons.
“The members of our service industry carry Vegas on their back and we must do a better job to ensure that we are providing the assistance and programs needed to ensure their well-being,” Mark Shunock, founding father of The Area 2.0 shared.
“I’m part of this entire effort. We are all here to take care of each other,” Actress, Annette Bening, chair of the Leisure Neighborhood Fund mentioned.
With psychological well being on the forefront of the power, Shunock mentioned it was important to get first responders concerned.

“For the first time, Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance will have their very own permanent residence inside The Space,” he mentioned.
Jeff Dill, the founding father of the Firefighter Behavioral Well being Alliance shared the struggles these ladies and men in uniform face on daily basis.
“We had a stretch for seven years in a row where we lost more firefighters to suicide, then line of duty deaths; What Mark is offering us today, it will increase the ability for not only first responders but community members and entertainers and children to seek help,” Dill defined.
“The Space 2.0” can be 80,000 sq. toes positioned on the open lot off Polaris and Harmon.
The hope is to boost $50 million {dollars} earlier than building begins in late 2025 and if all goes in keeping with plan, the five-story group heart will open in late 2028.
