Southern Nevada is cementing its position as a center for advanced manufacturing, technology, and logistics, as five companies are poised to launch or expand their operations in the region. These projects received approval at the August 7th Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), quarterly Board meeting, and will inject over $174 million in new capital investment and create more than 375 high-quality jobs, strengthening Nevada’s economy and community ties.
