LAS VEGAS— With the assistance of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA), five companies set to relocate or expand in Southern Nevada were approved for state incentives today by the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) board of directors.

Haas, Geotab, GreenBroz, VadaTech and Aircraft Hinge will bring 2,005 new jobs to the region over the next five years.

“This an exciting quarter for economic development in the region,” said Jonas Peterson, president and CEO of LVGEA. “We are thrilled to have worked alongside these companies to bring so many new jobs and continued economic diversity to the area.”

GOED works closely with the LVGEA and other redevelopment agencies across the state to ensure that businesses are able to get the incentives they need to expand their businesses.

“Nevada continues to be a destination for companies that would like to relocate to a business-friendly state with workers that have the skills needed for today’s advanced manufacturing and high tech industries,” said GOED Interim Executive Director Kris Sanchez. “Small businesses in Nevada are also taking advantage of the great opportunities available to them and expanding their operations in the state to reach customers nationwide and worldwide.”
