The nearby city of Fernley is right off of I-80—and a lot of subdivisions bit the dust in 2009. But I assume they are making a comeback now. TRIC has gas lines, I-80, rail service, big pipe fiber cable, and onsite power plants. They put in their own roads too. Amazing project. And they have sufficient water rights.
What’s great about the location: Reno is only 9 miles away and Lake Tahoe another 30 minutes up the mountains. And only a few hours from Silicon Valley, Napa, San Fran.
Grant Thornton, in its report, said the project has hired 24 employees and 16 are Nevada residents, for a residency percentage of 67 percent. The employee tax credit for the period totaled $300,000.
The average hourly wage was $94.26, which does not include construction workers.
Well, since they seem to have only hired big bosses with an average salary of around $188,000 per year, there is a lot of room to hire many workers at burger-flipper wages and still keep to the $22 average...:^)
I know I worked there for 5 years. Fernley is still hurting Amazon moved to Reno and putt a hurt on the housing market even more than 08-09. The commute from Sparks to the area is a nightmare during winter storms.
