  • lower unemployment

On the negative side, the area will see…

  • more traffic

What are your thoughts? What changes (expected or otherwise) will the region see?

    Overall, if your timeline for living in this city is the next 20 to 30 years, this should be a good thing economically. What our so called leaders had better do though is be smart about how they manage all of this. Make a lasting industry that will endure and not run out of here as soon as someone else is willing to give them a better deal.

    On the other hand, If you are here because you enjoyed that biggest little city thing, I think we can all officially dispense with that now, if we haven’t already. To me the Minden-Gardnerville area keeps looking better and better.
