As part of their new ownership and remodel project, the Carson Valley Inn will be getting a brand new sign. The new sign is going to be a little bit down the road, instead of right at the entrance like the current sign. And it will include an electronic readerboard that has many residents concerned about light levels.

The new sign will be 26 feet high, the same height as the current sign. But because it's a new sign in a new location, special approval needs to be had from the Town of Minden and from Douglas County to install the sign. Minden approved the new sign this week; the county planning commission reviews the request next week.

The Nevada Appeal reports that the new Holiday Inn in Minden has opened. This marks the first, and so far the only, tenant in the Minden Gateway Center. The hotel was supposed to be surrounded by acres of retail and office space, with a supermarket and a drug store, but things are not looking good for that project. So for now, the hotel stand by itself in an increasingly weed-strewn lot. Hopefully there are enough travelers coming through town to keep it full.

In related news, the Carson Valley Inn has been sold to the owners of Bodine's in Carson and the Silver Legacy in Reno, ending 25 years of ownership by the Mulreany family of the Carson Valley's largest hotel and casino.
