Ensuring Southern Nevada's Economic Vitality

The non-profit organization is directly responsible for creating thousands of jobs for valley residents.  During the last fiscal year, NDA attracted 43 new companies and worked with 13 companies as they expanded.  More than 2,700 new jobs were created by NDA and the community realized an employee economic impact of nearly $352 million last year alone.
