Company Overview
Reno, the "Biggest Little City in the World", is the largest city in northern Nevada and the third largest in the state with a population of 241,455. The metropolitan area, with a total population of nearly 426,000, is located on the eastern slope of the majestic snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains at an elevation of 4,500 feet. Reno's location provides a temperate climate year round characterized by sunshine more than 80% of the year.
The surrounding area provides unlimited indoor and outdoor recreational activities. Within 35-minutes away lies spectacular Lake Tahoe and one of the largest concentrations of ski facilities in the world. Biking, camping, hunting, fishing, and mountain climbing are all available within minutes way from Reno. Reno's appeal is not just limited to recreation activities and entertainment. The highly rated educational system includes the University of Nevada, Reno, a Tier 1 university, with 21,000 students who provide a positive ambiance to the community's culture and diversity.
Reno also hosts many conferences and special events throughout the year, such as "Artown" (the largest single cultural event in America), Hot August Nights, the Balloon Races and the Air Races.
The region's major industries include gaming, outdoor recreation, retail sales, technology, tourism, transportation, and warehousing. With an increasingly diversified economy, the region is strategically located along major transportation links. The enviable situation of no corporate or personal income tax also adds to the attractiveness and appeal of the City of Reno. One of the world's largest industrial park lies just east of Reno, attracting the famous Tesla Motors' Gigafactory and Switch's SuperNAP-the world's largest data center.
