Representing seven counties and five cities in the northwest corner of Nevada, the Western Nevada Development District (WNDD)
works toward creating an environment that welcomes new businesses, industries, and workforce to the region to promote a vibrant, resilient, and sustainable economy.

WNDD’s cornerstone is the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).

The CEDS is a locally based, regionally driven economic development planning process and document that successfully engages the region’s community leaders, private sector partners, and stakeholders. This framework enables the region and its partners to strengthen their leverage and expand regional capacity to attract outside resources to build a sustainable and resilient economy. The result creates an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen the regional economy and to qualify the region for additional assistance from the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce (EDA).
