Abstract

Recognizing the ongoing need to diversify the Southern Nevada economy, in 2023 GOED commissioned Brookings Mountain West, the UNLV Center for Business and Economic Research, and the UNLV Transportation Research Center to evaluate how Southern Nevada can leverage its geography and connectivity to neighboring states and metros at the megapolitan level to pursue industrial opportunities in the face of shifting global supply chains, diminishing developable land, the need for efficient management of the regional water supply, and the availability of unprecedented federal resources to support clean energy development, manufacturing, electrification of transportation systems, and supply-chain resiliency.

The study builds on previous economic development reports, analyzes a wide range of economic data from Las Vegas and adjacent metros, and incorporates insights gleaned from background interviews with representatives from state and local governments, utilities, transportation agencies, and economic development organizations to identify industrial opportunities the region should pursue, infrastructure investments that are needed to support these opportunities, and policy and governance interventions to facilitate and fund regional industrial-based economic diversification.
