I am pleased to announce that EDAWN has moved to a New Office Building! As of December 11th, EDAWN relocated to 50 W. Liberty Street, Ste. 108, Reno NV 89501. Thanks to all our Major Investors that helped with the search process. A special thank you to Basin Street Properties and Dickson Commercial Group for their collaborating efforts in finalizing the tenant lease.

The Business Development team reported six site visits for the month of December. Our average site visits, while lower for the month of December, are hitting higher averages than the same time last year. Our team responded to thirteen new leads, as businesses continue to contemplate Northern Nevada as a logical location to expand or relocate. Our team is creating industry specific flyers, publications and expanding our reach to attend real estate events nationally to augment our attraction efforts.

To contact the Business Development team, please email Heather Wessling Grosz, Amanda Berry, or Danielle Randol. 

Our team is looking forward to assisting you with your business needs in 2024. We are here to facilitate introductions, useful programs, and valuable resources. To arrange a meeting or phone call with us, please contact Kim Yaeger at yaeger@edawn.org or call 775.829.3720.
