Carson City Supervisor John McKenna Issues Statement on Tesla
“Tesla's decision to open a huge battery plant in the Reno area is exciting news and a game changer for all of northern Nevada. I congratulate the Nevada economic development team on landing this high technology company for our area.
I would expect short term issues to affect our region as we absorb such a large addition to our manufacturing community. Labor migration and availability will be a challenge to our existing base.
It is imperative that all communities work with the NNDA to take care of our current manufacturers and keep them working and engaged. We must do all we can to continue promoting training of our skilled workforce at our local high schools and Western Nevada College.”
