Nearly 400 new jobs coming to Las Vegas area

With the assistance of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA), four companies will expand or relocate to the Las Vegas area, projecting the creation of 390 total jobs over the next five years. P3 Health Partners, Progress Rail, Originate and Precision Tube Laser were approved for incentives today by the Board of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED).

Since Jan., the LVGEA has assisted with the expansion and relocation of 30 companies, which are expected to create more than 5,400 jobs throughout Southern Nevada.

P3 Health Partners – Projected job creation (5 years) = 220

After selling HealthCare Partners of Nevada in 2012, the team now at P3 Health Partners is looking to expand and open its 36,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Las Vegas for its national Management Services Organization.

The company projects the creation of 220 jobs over the next five years, with an average wage of $36.94 in the region. After examining multiple locations throughout the western states, P3 Health Partners chose to locate its headquarters in Nevada because of its pro-business climate and overall incentive package. Assisted by the LVGEA in the incentive application, it specifically chose Las Vegas because of workforce availability and development space.

P3 Health Services aims to lead the value-based information of American medicine by establishing strategic partnerships that focus on enhanced health outcomes, more productive responsive systems, lower overall costs, better patient experiences, and greater professional satisfaction of caregivers.

With plans to expand to a 130,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Henderson, Progress Rail Services plans to create 110 jobs for the region over the next five years. While some employees will relocate from other facilities, it is anticipated that majority of Henderson facility staff will be local hires.

The LVGEA assisted Progress Rail Services in acquiring real estate and connecting with local resources. The company chose to expand to the region and specifically Henderson because of the economic climate, proximity to customers, utility rates, labor and property costs and highway accessibility, in addition to incentives offered by the state.
