EDON outlines growth strategy, limits on heavy water use and housing plans for Northern Nevada
Summary
At the "Good Morning Truckee" forum, Taylor Adams, president and CEO of EDON, described recent economic-development wins in Northern Nevada and said EDON will avoid recruiting high water–use firms, pursue renewable energy financing and promote workforce-oriented housing.
Taylor Adams, president and CEO of EDON (Economic Development Authority of Northern Nevada), told the Good Morning Truckee audience that EDON is focusing on higher‑value industrial jobs, workforce development and entrepreneurial support while limiting recruitment of high water–use companies.
Adams said EDON’s assisted jobs averaged about $87,000 annually over the last 12 months and that the agency continues to diversify the region’s industrial base beyond logistics and gaming. He said EDON helped attract a South Korean life‑sciences company that is completing a $10,000,000 investment near the University of Nevada, Reno. Adams said his office also runs an annual Startup Week that registered roughly 1,800 attendees last year and now carries EO Global and Startup World Cup sanctions for pitch competitions.
