The economy in Reno and Sparks has grown significantly over the last decade, and it’s had a significant impact on the people, businesses, jobs, and communities in the greater Northern Nevada region. And while this growth has benefited the economy with robust, evolving industries and greater personal wealth, it has also raised critical questions about city infrastructure, workforce turnover, and housing affordability.
