from world-famous Lake Tahoe, the Reno-Sparks community is
surrounded by natural beauty and limitless recreational
opportunities. The Reno area has over 18 world-class ski
resorts, many just a short 45-minutes from downtown, and
40-plus golf courses. The area also boasts 60 gaming
locations, the National Bowling Stadium, the National
Automobile Museum, Rancho San Rafael Park's Arboretum and
Wilbur D. May Great Basin Adventure, and world-class
fishing, hiking, biking and numerous other outdoor
activities.
At 4,500 feet altitude, the Reno area offers four distinct
seasons with few extremes. Average temperatures range from
winter lows in the 20's to summer highs in the 90's. Low
humidity characterizes the area, making the cool days seem
not so cold, and the warm days not so hot. Rain is scarce
(fewer than eight inches on average annually), as are
cloudy days. Snow, however, is certain (23.5 inches on
average per year), though it tends to melt by late
afternoon in the valleys. Here, the sun shines more than
300 days a year, providing warm days, cool nights and blue
skies.
Tax benefits (no corporate, personal income, unitary,
inventory, or franchise tax), accessibility to western
markets, transportation hub, abundance of available
industrial/office/commercial space, advanced
telecommunications infrastructure, business-friendly
regulations, and high quality of life make Reno an extremely
attractive place to do business and live.
