EDAWN’s State of the Economy in Northern Nevada 2024

On February 8th, 2024, the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN) conducted its annual State of the Economy in Northern Nevada presentation.  More than 1,300 regional business and community leaders attended our annual “State of the Economy in Northern Nevada” Economic Update Luncheon. We highlighted our region’s progress over the past years, with an overview of new companies, job growth, and opportunities to expect in the year ahead.

EDAWN collaborates with our investors and regional partners to attract and grow companies to accomplish our mission of economic diversification and quality job creation for the Greater Reno-Sparks region. These efforts have allowed the EDAWN team to assist in the creation of 5,000+ jobs in the last year. With more than 50 ongoing projects, we are excited about the future of the economy in Northern Nevada and will use this success to continue to be a driver of sustainable economic growth in this region.
