Last week the Reno Gazette-Journal ran an opinion piece on Reno’s expanding technology economy. See the RGJ piece here: Reno: Silicon Valley without the sky-high rent
In the piece the writer points out Reno’s:
- nationally-ranked university
- technical schools and community colleges
- varied work force
- low cost of doing business
- attractive commercial real estate prices
- competitive tax climate
- high quality of life
- favorable location
…as a few of it’s attributes that are attracting technology companies
From the piece:
The allure of Reno is its promise and potential to become a vibrant technology city without all of the downsides of a tech capital like Silicon Valley. If we can attract Tesla, Switch, Microsoft and Apple, but keep at bay the sky-high commercial real estate prices, snarled traffic and exorbitant housing prices, Reno will remain a magnet to maturing technology and logistics companies.
