With no corporate or personal income tax, no inventory tax, and a great business climate, the state is ranked time and time again as one of the best business locations in the nation. The incentives of doing business in Nevada are expansive. Nevada boasts one of the most liberal tax structures in the nation and from a tax-planning perspective, the return on investment in the form of tax saving dollars can be enormous. Humboldt County and the City of Winnemucca have all of these advantages and more. With the lowest property taxes and sales tax rates in the state, we offer advantages that Las Vegas or the Reno-Tahoe area can’t match, without the hassles, traffic, or high cost of living found in the urban centers of the state. Winnemucca lies on the most important east-west transportation corridor in North America and its location has made it a transportation hub since the California Trail was in use and the first transcontinental railroad was constructed. Located equidistant from the ever growing markets and ports around the San Francisco Bay Area, and the growing metropolis of Salt Lake City, and with easy access north to Boise, Idaho, and south to Las Vegas, the city is truly in the center of the intermountain west. Interstate highways, two railroad lines, advanced high speed communications systems, and a modern municipal airport capable of handling aircraft up to Boeing 737’s provide the connections.

Targeted Markets The Lander County workforce is characterized as being young, educated, highly skilled and diversified. Marketing efforts for business location or relocation to Lander County are best focused on industries which employ a younger, skilled workforce in early- to mid-career status The targeting of mining and mining cluster or mining support industries is intuitive yet counter-productive in developing a sustainable, long-term economic base for the county's communities and residents. The relatively high wages paid workers in the mining industry increases the difficulty in attracting business and industry to Lander County. Fierce 'competition' for a limited number of skilled workers increases with the differential in compensation packages offered by competing industries.

White Pine Economic Diversification Council (White Pine County)
www.elynevada.net White Pine County enjoys the combination of a relaxed, rural lifestyle and a progressive approach to business and industrial development. At the crossroads of US Highways 50 and 93, the County is centrally located in the inter-mountain west between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. The County is moving forward with existing economic sectors including mining, agriculture, metal fabrication, and tourism industries. It is at the center of an emerging energy development cluster with two large coal-fired electrical power plants, transmission lines, reconstruction of the Nevada Northern Short Line Railroad, and seven wind energy projects in varying stages of the permitting process. We can offer your business affordable, reliable electric power, a County owned and administered Industrial Park, and a County Revolving Loan Fund to encourage business development. We are proud of our full service business community and one-stop shop for building, planning, and economic development. We can offer your employees affordable housing, exemplary schools, outstanding medical services, and friendly, small town way of life. We are sure they will enjoy the outdoor recreation opportunities including mountain biking, hiking and backpacking, trophy big game hunting and fishing, and cross country skiing within minutes of town. White Pine Count Targeting Strategies include energy development, metal fabrication, support services to mining and construction, home based businesses, and future development of the railroad. Energy Development: Availability of land, water, air shed, the Nevada Northern Railroad, and community support attracted coal fired power projects to the County. Wind and solar resources and the transmission capacity to be built by the coal projects are attracting interest from renewable energy projects. The energy development projects will generate jobs that offer wages higher than the state’s industrial average and with opportunities for advancement, business activity, opportunities to attract auxiliary industries, and tax revenues for White Pine County and eastern Nevada and they will help to provide energy resources to support economic development throughout the state. Support Services for Mining and Construction: White Pine County’s mining industry has historically been its economic mainstay. While the County strives to diversify its economy it continues to work with current growth of mining activity and to explore all avenues of providing the industry with products and services. White Pine County has several potential large construction projects in the next several years including mine expansions, energy projects, transmission lines, reconstruction of the Nevada Northern Railroad, and the Southern Nevada Water Authority pipeline. The County is assisting local businesses to be able to provide support services for large construction projects. Both mining and construction provide business opportunities and jobs that can be filled locally rather than bringing products and services from out of the area. Home Based Businesses: One of the County’s greatest assess is the creativity and talent of its citizens. The County encourages and assists local entrepreneurs to develop and market their products. Most are home based businesses, but many have the potential to expand and generate new jobs in the community. Future Potential Based on Use of the Railroad: As the rail line is renovated and freight service is reinstated, the County will continue to strengthen its targeting strategies to include industries requiring rail, water resources, and land.
