About the Abatements

The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) approved five companies that will receive $2,246,263 in tax abatements. In return, these companies are projected to create 235 jobs in the next two years at an average weighted hourly wage of $31.91. That figure is expected to grow to 605 in five years. Additionally, these companies will make capital investments of $22,234,309 in the first two years of operation and generate $34,514,879 in new tax revenues over the 10-year abatement period.

“Nevada continues to attract quality companies who are creating good jobs,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “Since the beginning of my term, Nevada has issued 10 abatements that will create 3,739 jobs over five years. These companies are making $3,675,365,079 in capital investment and will generate $838,277,610 in new tax revenues during the abatement periods.”

Three of the companies receiving abatements are in Clark County and two of them are in Storey County. “These companies expanding into Nevada nicely reflect the GOED economic development plan that GOED recently released,” said Tom Burns, GOED Executive Director. “We believe that realizing Nevada’s electric, innovative, and connected future provides a roadmap for state leadership to leverage Nevada’s assets, build upon its emerging growth, diversification, and innovation, and ensure inclusive growth.”
