Leaders try to bridge regional gap in Nevada
By Nicole Raz, Las Vegas Review-Journal
About 300 business leaders, academics and government officials are meeting Tuesday through Thursday to make the 450 miles between Las Vegas and Reno feel shorter.
“We can break down those miles through collaboration,” said Matt Westfield, founder and director of Entrepreneurs Assembly, a not-for-profit business mentoring organization based at the URN Innevation Center.
The second annual Nevada Economic Development Conference, presented in part by UNR and UNLV, aims to create a new map for economic development.
