Today, Governor Sisolak issued a letter to State and local partners about accelerating infrastructure projects in the State to create immediate jobs for Nevadans. The letter follows the Governor’s State of the State address last week where he spoke about the need for the State to collaborate with our local partners to find ways to create good paying jobs and economic opportunity for residents to reenergize the State’s economy. The full letter can be read HERE.
Yesterday, Governor Sisolak joined Lt. Governor Kate Marshall, State Treasurer Zach Conine, and a group of Nevada’s small business owners for a virtual small business roundtable. Participants shared their ideas of how Nevada can continue to help small businesses. More information about the event can be found HERE.
