RENO/TAHOE AREA LISTED AMONG THE TOP IN NATIONAL RANKINGS

These 2012-2010 rankings are a sure sign that the Reno Tahoe area is heading in the right direction, developing a strong diversified business economy as well as offering a quality of life that is second to none !  In 2012 alone the Silver State has witnessed a surge of activity in new business commitments and inquiries due in part to the local and state Government’s  progressive campaign recruiting new business to Nevada, locally and globally. As a local I take for granted the fact that I wake daily  to a view of the majestic snow capped Sierra Nevada mountains, amazingly deep blue skies, clean air and an average drive of “15″ minutes no matter where I need to go in the Reno/Sparks area! I see the future of ”growth” coming to  Northern Nevada  and I know that Nevada will share its beauty, outdoor lifestyle and community spirit with all who move here….a treasure soon to be discovered!
