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

These companies include HAPPIE Home, Premium Waters, Owned Outcomes and Design, LLC. In total, these will bring 125 new jobs to the region over the next five years.

Since Jan., the LVGEA has assisted in the expansion and relocation of 28 companies, projecting a total of more than 4,200 jobs over the next five years.

The LVGEA assisted HAPPIE in the incentive application process and connected the company with community partners including the City of Las Vegas and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

“Cost-of-living, ease of commute, a supportive city and state that wants to see us succeed, and access to talent are all key factors in our decision on where to establish our headquarters,” said HAPPIE Home President and CEO Anthony Rufo. “We want to grow in a city and state that will provide the best lifestyle for our team members.
