Nevada is the largest gold-producing state in the nation. It is second in the world behind South Africa. Nevada is the gambling and entertainment capital of the United States. Las Vegas has more hotel rooms than any other place on earth. Most of the state is desert but the Sierra Nevada mountain range near Reno and the Ruby Mountains near Elko have snow for half the year. Nevada has more mountain ranges than any other state, with its highest point at the 13,145 foot top of Boundary Peak near the west-central border. About 150 couples get married in Las Vegas each day.

Sparks was reported as the fastest growing city in Nevada between 1999 - 2008 and continues to grow. Quality of life is cited as one of the main reasons people relocate to the Sparks area. Summer and winter outdoor activities abound! Sparks is known as the premiere special events venue for all of northern Nevada with attractions on the Victorian Square bringing thousands of visitors to such annual events as Hometown Farmer’s Market, Hot August Nights, Best in the West (Nugget) Rib Cook-off and Hometowne Christmas.

Although gaming and other recreational activities represent a significant portion of the growing economy and assessed valuation, the City is experiencing a gradual diversification of its business base with the expansion of distribution, warehousing, and manufacturing facilities. Approximately 25% of the workforce is employed in the fields of construction, manufacturing, transportation, communications, public utilities, and finance related services. The Reno area is serviced by two major highways. Union Pacific railroad and a number of trucking and airline carriers make it possible to ship Reno to 80% of the 11 western states on a next-day basis. Nevada has no corporate or personal income tax, and is a right-to-work state. These factors have contributed to the State’s tremendous growth in the 1990’s and into the 2000’s. In addition to the accomplishments of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada in bringing new business to Northern Nevada, the City of Reno Economic and Redevelopment Agency has begun both entertainment and housing projects in the City’s downtown sector. Over thirty million dollars of City and one billion dollars in private/other public investment has been made in downtown Reno to mod- ernize and beautify infrastructure and facilities.
