Carson City’s mayor is heading to Washington, D.C., to meet the President. The Nevada Appeal reports that Mayor Bob Crowell will be in that nation’s capital today for Mayors’ Day at the White House. Crowell said he hopes to speak to the president and others about the city’s transportation grant application. The city is waiting to hear if it has been awarded an $8 million grant, to fund reconstruction of Carson Street between 5th Street and Fairview Drive.
