Why Nevada
 Northern Nevada is a great place to live and do business.
Surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and located less than a hour from Lake Tahoe, the Reno-Sparks area offers a spectacular quality of life, lots of outdoor recreation such as skiing, golf and kayaking, and plenty of world-class restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
Located on Interstate 80, Reno-Sparks is just a few hours from the Bay Area and has become the distribution and logistics gateway to the West for major manufacturers such as General Motors Service Parts and national retailers such as Amazon.com, Toys-R-Us and Barnes and Noble.
This area features about 73+ million square feet of industrial real estate and 6.8+ million square feet of office space.
And Nevada is well known for being business friendly unlike our neighbor to the west. Nevada tax laws make doing business in the Reno/Sparks area beneficial. According to the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN), the state has:
- Consistent tax and business policies
- No corporate income tax
- No personal income tax
- No unitary tax
- No franchise tax
- No inventory tax
- No inheritance tax
- No estate or gift tax
- No special intangible tax
The state also compares favorably to California in other areas such as cost of living, real estate costs and workers' compensation rates.
