I agree, I'm just not sure that having to give up existing tax incentives to other industries to fund a $1.3B subsidy to one company is the way to go about generating new industry in the area.

There is a small group of start-ups in the area that seem to be doing well for themselves and every so often there is talk of Reno becoming the next Silicon Valley, so I think the SAAS sector is covered.

Reno also has Sierra Nevada Corp, which was in competition with SpaceX and Boeing on some space related ventures for whatever that is worth.
