5 Reno/Sparks Economy Reno’s economy is principally based in the trade and service sector, with approximately 65% of the work force employed in these occupa- tions. 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. A maintenance district was established to ensure that the downtown area will remain clean and beautiful. The City also established a police district downtown to ensure a safer environment.

8 Tahoe Reno Industrial Center
Tahoe Reno Industrial Center (TRIC) is a massive 107,000 acre park that encompasses a developable 30,000 acre industrial complex with pre-approved industrial and manufacturing uses. Located nine (9) miles east of Reno on I-80, in a pro-growth Nevada county, the four 5,000 acre phases now available for development include:
Rail serviced sites Municipal water and sewer utility companies High pressure gas to all sites Five (5) generating power plants on site with more than 900 megawatts of electrical power available to all park users
Benefits of the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center include:
Low risk geography located in Department of Homeland Security Zone 1 Safety Zone Meets stringent TIA-942 Tier 4 criteria for datacenter construction Designated “minimally seismically active” by USGS High Desert location has no flooding or water issues and 8-9 months of free cooling Logistically strong location Just 9 miles east of Reno/Sparks Borders I80, one of the major east/west arteries in the nation Two dedicated exits (Patrick & USA Parkway), one that serves a four-lane artery south through the center of the park Only 15 miles to the Reno Tahoe International Airport with flights almost hourly to all major markets in the country, less than an hour to the Bay Area of CA
The park built 14 million square feet of buildings in its first 16 years. This year, the park has started construction on an- other 10 million square feet. With such tenants as Tesla, Walmart, PetSmart, Toys R’ Us, eBay, Diapers.Com, Dell and U. S. Ordinance who have already made the decision to locate within the Tahoe/Reno Industrial Center and another 10 million square feet of additional tenants signed recently, it is on its way to be the largest industrial complex in the world. With more major tenants scheduled to announce relocation to the Tahoe/Reno industrial center, it should produce over 100,000 new jobs to the Northern Nevada region.
9 Tesla Battery Gigafactory
http://gas2.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/drone-provides-birds-eye-view-of.jpg
California electric car maker Tesla, in partnership with Japan’s Panasonic Corp., is building the world’s largest lithium ion battery factory at the 165-square-mile Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center 20 miles east of Reno. The industrial center encompasses about 60 percent of Storey County’s land mass.
Word that Tesla Motors is taking up residency in Northern Nevada has companies around the world doing a double-take of the Reno-Sparks area and inquiring about what the Silver State has to offer, an economic development official said. “It puts us not only on the national radar for site selectors and companies looking for locations in the West, but we’re getting calls from across the globe — Belgium, Germany, China,” said Mike Kazmierski, president and chief executive officer of the Economic Devel- opment Authority of Western Nevada.

10 Switch TAHOE RENO The world’s largest, most advanced data center campus is now located in Reno/Sparks’ backyard. The first building in Switch’s Citadel Campus officially opened at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center in late February of 2017. It is known as “Tahoe Reno 1,” the 130-megawatt facility is one of several data center buildings planned for the project. The Citadel Campus is Switch’s response to the increasing demand for internet-connected people, services and devices. It is designed to be the world’s largest data center cam- pus built on the same designs as the campus in Las Vegas. Before Tahoe Reno 1 came about, the title of the largest single data center building belonged to the Lakeside Technology Center located in Chicago.
Like its Tahoe Reno Industrial Center neighbor, Tesla’s Gigafactory, the Citadel Campus could serve as a good recruiting tool for the area, Kramer said. It also plays a big role in Switch’s plans for future growth given today’s technology landscape, he added.
“Ninety percent of the world’s data was created in just the last two years,” Kramer said. “The In- ternet is growing at an exponential rate.”

Google: Coming soon to Reno Tahoe
Google Inc will also soon be joining the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center after their purchase of 1,210 acres of land in April of 2017. Google will neighbor Tesla and Switch but their purchase of land does not mean that they will break ground on their new data center, in fact there are no set plans to start construction right away.
"Nevada is rapidly becoming a technology and innovation hub by attracting exciting new startups and some of the world's best names," Sandoval said. "I am excited by the prospects that come with this size of purchase from this type of company."
Jason Hidalgo– Reno Gazette Journal
11 The Reno Technology Park was envisioned by a team of developers called Unique Infrastructure Group. The property pro- vides access to a wide variety of energy sources, including hydroelectric, wind and geothermal power. RTP is ideally located along the I-80 ‘fiberway,’ directly across the from the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. Large Nevada electric customers such as Data centers can access the western wholesale power market to negotiate some of the lowest power prices in the region. The 2012 Nevada legislature reaffirmed an array of tax advantages that match or exceed any available in the U.S. When combined Nevada’s lack of a corporate income tax, the Reno Technology Park stands out as the exceptional location for data center development in the Western U.S.
The Reno/Tahoe region is consistently ranked as one of the locations having the highest quality of life in the country. Reno’s very low cost of living and Nevada’s lack of a personal income tax facilitate recruiting and retention of essential personnel. Given that recent studies have shown that more than 50% of all data center outages are caused by human error, major IT company CEOs and CIOs have cited cost-of-living as an advantage for the city, especially in comparison to rural and more remote data center locations.
World class fiber An unmatched financial environment Multiple kv and 345 kv trans-mission lines Deregulated, low cost power Independence from any single utility “Business friendly” state of Nevada No state corporate income tax Experienced, ready IT workforce No tax on digital software Direct access to all tier 1 providers No state personal income tax 10Gb/s, 40Gb/s and 100 Gb/s service and DWDM transport 350 MW of import capacity
After initiating plans to develop Reno Technology Park, Unique Infrastructure Group began efforts to recruit potential data center clients to its new site, including Apple. As it turns out, Apple received the second-largest tax break in Nevada history behind Tesla and the Reno site will be Apple's third major US data center.
Apple is planning on opening additional data center clusters to house its cloud computing ser- vice east of Sparks as well as a business and purchasing center in downtown Reno, part of a $1 billion investment the company plans to spend in Northern Nevada over the next 10 years.
12 University of NEVADA, Reno
http://webservices.unr.edu/targetx/Content/images/ background.jpg The University of Nevada, Reno is the state's historic flagship institution of higher education. The University has a student enrollment of more than 16,000, including about 3,200 graduate students, and a total budget of nearly $500 million.
The University provides a broad range of programs and degree options, ranging from baccalaureate degrees in more than 75 disciplines to more than 100 graduate-degree programs at the master's and doctoral level. The University of Nevada School of Medicine is a vital component of the University, with campuses in both of Nevada's major urban centers, Las Vegas and Reno, and a health net- work that extends to much of rural Nevada.
The University of Nevada was founded in 1874 in Elko as the state's first institution of higher education. Relocated to Reno in 1887, the University remained the state's only institution of higher education for 75 years. The first building on the Reno campus, Morrill Hall, is still in use today, and the campus has grown from a small cluster of buildings surrounding a central quadrangle (modeled after Thomas Jefferson's design for the University of Virginia), to a 250-acre site just north of downtown Reno. The University is one of eight institutions of higher education governed by the Nevada System of Higher Education.
The University has 76 undergraduate degree programs, and more than 100 graduate degree programs (66 master's and 37 doctoral pro- grams) from which students may choose. New majors approved recently include Atmospheric Sciences, Environmental Science, Forest and Rangeland Management, Wildlife Ecology, and Computer and Information Engineering. The University is also in the process of adding new Ph.D. programs in Mathematics, Statistics, and Geography, and a new interdisciplinary undergraduate program in Environ- mental Studies.
The tuition for Nevada resident undergraduates is among the lowest in the western United States and is a reflection of the Board of Re- gents' and state legislature's policy to provide access to as many Nevada high school graduates as are qualified. For example, the resident undergraduate tuition and fees total $2,850, which is lower than all but one of 15 western states. Non-resident undergraduate tuition and fees total $11,524 which is at the median for the western states.
Coupled with its status as a land-grant institution, the University necessarily has a statewide mission and boasts programs and activities in all 17 counties of the state. It has more than 700 employees outside the Reno area, most of them in Las Vegas. It plays a critical role in the promotion of health throughout the state through its Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health.
The University's athletics programs compete in NCAA Division I as part of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). The University fields competitive teams in 18 sports, with seven men's sports and 11 women's sports teams offering scholarships.

32 Nevada State Parks
Camping, fishing, hiking, swimming, nature study, star-gazing—not your thing? How about mountain biking, horseback riding, boating, water skiing, snowshoeing, ice-skating? Choose your favorite outdoor activity and Nevada State Parks will provide a place for it. Nevada’s 23 state parks, recreation areas and historic sites are stretched across terrains as di- verse as alpine forests and bone-dry deserts. Among them are natural lakes and man-made reservoirs, such as world- famous, 22 mile long Lake Tahoe or the much smaller Echo Canyon and its 35-acre reservoir.
Other parks provide glimpses into the past. Valley of Fire is one of the state’s oldest, with 3,000-year-old petroglyphs carved in sandstone and breathtaking views of the maroon-colored rock formations created during the age of the dino- saurs. Mormon Station in Genoa and the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort feature replicas of 19th-century fortifications and visitor centers explaining regional history.
Many campgrounds and RV facilities are open all year, depending on the weather - you can even stay in a yurt at Cave Lake State Park near Ely. Trailheads are well marked, and facilities at many parks include RV dump stations, showers and day use facilities for groups.

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST CENTENNIAL TITLE COMPANY
On February 15, 1978, First Centennial Title Company opened its doors with a manager, one escrow officer, a title searcher, a bookkeeper, and a receptionist. First Centennial Title was affiliated with Centennial Title Resource out of San Diego, California. At the time of opening we were told by our competitors that we would never survive the Nevada business climate, as the industry was at its lowest point in years and we were competing with nine other title companies in the area. First Centennial has enjoyed many years of success since then.
In 1983, First Centennial Title of Nevada separated from the San Diego office and took over the building and business of Valley Title along with keeping their own name, clients and employees.
On March 1, 2001, First Centennial joined the Orange Coast Title Family of Businesses. Orange Coast Title brought its corporate support including technology and E-commerce initiatives to First Centennial. Orange Coast is one of the most successful privately held companies serving the Commercial and Residential real estate markets.
First Centennial Title, a full service title and escrow company, has grown from a one-office operation to a multi-office operation, with Branches in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Incline Village and Stateline. Through the dedication of employees and direction of management, First Centennial Title has not only survived but has also flourished.
