Reno-Tahoe is going through an exciting period of growth that’s reshaping our community. The region’s tech and advanced manufacturing sectors continue to drive significant job and wage growth, attracting startups, investors and leading corporations. Notable is the historic momentum of Tesla’s $3.6 billion investment and Switch’s Tahoe-Reno Data Center, celebrated as the world’s most powerful data center campus. Adding to this momentum, Lithium Americas is advancing development at the Thacker Pass site, now recognized as the largest measured lithium reserve in the world.

These milestones are positioning Reno-Tahoe at the forefront of the clean energy, battery and data infrastructure revolutions.
