Nevada Approves Economic Development Applications Worth $119 Million

07/19/2018
The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development board approved economic approved applications for five businesses throughout “The Silver State,” expected to create 103 new jobs and make nearly $119 million in capital investments in Clark, Douglas, Humboldt and Washoe counties.

“I am very excited by the sustained economic momentum of Nevada’s economy,” Governor Brian Sandoval said. “In May of 2018, claims for unemployment insurance were the lowest in nearly 20 years. I am grateful for the all employers who continue to bet on the future of our state and I am particularly pleased to see the investments being made in rural counties this GOED board meeting.”

“From urban to rural areas, from increased workforce participation to higher wages, Nevada’s economic growth has a real human impact, which is being felt in communities across the state,” said GOED Executive Director Paul Anderson.

Companies approved today by GOED Board:

Bently Heritage, a distilled spirits manufacturing business in Douglas County, plans $4,270,434 in capital investment. The company created a sustainable estate distillery in two historic properties located near downtown Minden, Nevada. A significant part of the project's development budget has been allocated toward restoring and repurposing buildings that have been vacant for many years.
