The Top Starts section highlights the largest projects to begin construction in the past year across Nevada.
Nevada�s top starts include the Smith Center for Performing Arts and the Interstate 15 South, Blue Diamond Road to Tropicana Avenue, together adding $500-million in work to the hard-hit Las Vegas market.
The project sizes fall sharply from there, making this year�s top starts the smallest in years.
