Nevada GOED Board Approves Eight Companies to Create 167 Jobs, Expands Workforce Development Program in Ely and Reno

September 24, 2018 By Greg Ferraro Leave a Comment

LAS VEGAS/RENO – The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development board approved applications for eight businesses, which could mean 167 new jobs and nearly $200 million in capital investment for the Silver State.

The board also approved $1.6 million in additional funding for the Workforce Innovation for the New Nevada (WINN) program, which will support diesel technology education through Great Basin College in Ely and internet of things (IOT) and cybersecurity education through Multnomah University’s Reno Technology Academy.

“We’ve really reached a point in Nevada where the number of industries that view our state as a desirable place to do business continues to grow,” said Governor Brian Sandoval. “That economic diversification bodes well for all Nevadans, North and South, urban and rural and I’m pleased with the results of today’s meeting.”

“As Nevada’s economy evolves, it is important we equip our workforce with the necessary skills to keep pace,” said GOED Executive Director Paul Anderson. “That’s why the expansion of the WINN program to new academic partners, new communities, and new industries is an exciting development that adds to the long-term sustainability of our economy.”

The meeting featured a data-driven presentation by GOED Research Director Bob Potts on the remarkable “Diversification and Structural Changes in Nevada’s Growing Economy” since the Great Recession. The presentation deck is available here:

“With the addition of more than 276,800 private sector jobs over the past eight years, Nevada’s economic recovery has been strong. The good news, however, doesn’t end there. When we review the underlying industry trends within that growth, the mix and distribution of those new jobs are decidedly different than they were in 2010. This structural change has moved us well down the path to a more sustainable and vibrant economy,” said Potts.

GOED also debuted a new marketing video to promote the state’s strong economic performance.
