Description
Why is there no IKEA in Las Vegas? Las Vegas is the least educated major metropolitan area in the West. Nevada's economy is volatile because it lacks diversity and does not have an educated worker base. Through the sharing of best practices from the rest of the Intermountain West, we can develop strategies to restructure our economy and start growing again.
