LAS VEGAS/CARSON CITY, Nev. – Gov. Steve Sisolak and the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) board approved performance-based initiatives for seven businesses to relocate in Nevada or expand their operations, which could create 270 new jobs.
The companies’ applications approved for initiatives represent a wide range of businesses across the state including a robotic company in Reno, a technology company in Las Vegas, and an industrial supplier of organic botanicals, spices, chili and teas in Minden.
“These companies represent the diversity in Nevada’s economy that continues to flourish, with more and more companies exploring our state as a landing spot to expand their businesses,” Gov. Sisolak said. “We will continue to attract companies from diverse industries, from manufacturing to health care innovation to technology. We will also continue to support the small businesses we have in the state and help them grow and thrive.”
The applications approved today provide incentives based on performance. Companies must hit certain employment and investment levels before any of the incentives mature. The seven companies expect to bring more than $30 million in capital investment to the state.
“GOED offers a variety of incentives to help companies make the decision to expand their businesses throughout the state or relocate,” said GOED Executive Director Paul Anderson. “By attracting a variety of industries into the state we will continue to diversify our economy and create well-paying jobs for Nevadans.”
The GOED board is comprised of Gov. Sisolak, Lt. Gov. Kate Marshall, Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, six business leaders and two non-voting members, chancellor of the Nevada System of Higher Education and director of the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.
The following businesses were awarded performance-based incentives:
