Nevada tax incentives could mean creation of 2K jobs in state

June 18, 2021 by Pauline Lee

By McKenna Ross Las Vegas Review-JournalJune 17, 2021 – 5:33 pm   Las Vegas Review Journal

Eight companies considering relocation or expansion in Nevada may have a sweeter deal after the Governor’s Office of Economic Development approved $8.9 million in tax incentives Thursday.

The tax abatements may help create 2,000 jobs in the next five years, three-quarters of which are expected in or near Las Vegas. Some companies have roots in Nevada, though most that applied indicated they are considering expansion in the state.

“We’re thrilled to welcome these companies to our region,” Jonas Peterson, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, said in a statement. “Our team is excited to see an increase in companies, like these, choosing to invest in our community and help diversify our local economy. As we continue to push through the challenges of the pandemic, I’m optimistic about Southern Nevada’s economic outlook.”

Only one of the eight companies approved Thursday is considering a project outside of the Las Vegas area. Foot Locker wants to expand into a distribution center in Washoe County. The other seven applied for projects in Southern Nevada.

The companies chosen for the tax abatements, ranging from eyeglass maker Warby Parker to metal minting company Sunshine Minting, show the economic development group’s goal to diversify industries operating in the region, officials said.

“I’m very excited about the range of jobs these companies are creating in Nevada, most importantly in Southern Nevada which saw its leisure and hospitality sector nearly shut down during the pandemic,” GOED Executive Director Michael Brown said in a statement. “Diversifying Clark County’s economy is GOED’s top priority.”BUSINESS NEWS YOUR WAYSign up for our free Business Update newsletter. SIGN UP By signing up you agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
