A new trend that seems to be gaining momentum in the Silver State is shaping up to be great news for employment rates and Nevada’s economy: Hi-tech companies choosing to locate their core operational facilities in the state.
NJVC is a technology services provider. Its new data center will be located in South Reno, bringing with it 20 new high-paying, high-tech jobs, according to a recent report by KOLO TV. Governor Sandoval says this company’s choice to make Nevada its primary location along with Apple, Inc means the state is primed to become the next big high-tech hub.
"We have the entire package right here so when other companies are looking out here and they see a company like NJVC and Apple and if it's good enough for them, they'll probably think: It's good enough for our company as well,” says Governor Sandoval.
And, he’s right. NJVC says it hopes to have the data center up and running by mid-August. Computer and tech giant Apple Inc. brings its data centers to Reno also beginning in August.
So, what makes Reno, Nevada so attractive to such big-data, high-tech companies? A couple of things.
