"If employees' houses cost less, they have more discretionary income and are more likely to stay, saving business owners the cost of attracting good employees."

Growth Opportunities

Crossroads Commerce Center offers a location that gives businesses a strong upper hand in distribution. Only 25 to 30 minutes east of the Reno/Sparks area, Crossroads is ideally situated at the hub of the 11 western states region and provides convenient overnight access to more than 53 million consumers living in the West and the countries of the Pacific Rim.

High profile businesses including Fortune 500 companies such as Amazon.com, UPS, Honeywell, Quebecor World, Trex Company, Sherwin-Williams, and MSC Industrial Supply, have already decided to take advantage of the lucrative opportunities of Crossroads Commerce Center. Just as these companies have found, Crossroads Commerce Center provides financial benefits through the absence of building impact fees, the lowest improved land cost with the highest quality infrastructure in western Nevada, and the extensive flexibility for future expansions.

Since time is of the essence for most businesses, Crossroads Commerce Center has a fast-track approval process where building permits are obtained administratively with no public hearings required. Companies moving to Crossroads Commerce Center will enjoy the benefits of level, ready-to-build land, and Crossroads Commerce Center currently has several hundred acres of land within the park which have all necessary roads and utilities completed. As a result of the abundant space, there is tremendous flexibility with parcel sizes, locations, and configurations and all future expansions are easily accommodated. Crossroads Commerce Center is prepared to complete any land improvements in as few as two-three months.

Powerful incentives such as numerous tax breaks and pro-business policies give Crossroads Commerce Center a universal appeal to expanding and relocating businesses. The outstanding tax climate is one of the best reasons to do business in Nevada. This tax structure clearly distinguishes Nevada as offering a pro-business environment few states can match. Nevada's business incentives include Sales and Use Tax Abatement, Personal and Real Property Tax Abatement, Recycling Property Tax Abatement, and Renewable Energy Abatements. The long list of corporate benefits are also compelling, including no corporate, personal income, unitary, business, admissions, franchise, or corporate share taxes as well as no I.R.S. information sharing agreements. The Fernley area offers additional cost savings in that there are no building impact fees assessed for industrial/retail development and the property tax rate in Fernley is the lowest in the area.

A large portion of Crossroads Commerce Center is designated as a Foreign Trade Zone, enabling substantial savings on expenses by reducing custom duties and state and local ad valorem taxes. Any business that imports, exports or manufactures using foreign components or warehouses or distributes international products can benefit from the reduced expenses of the Foreign Trade Zone.

From unparalleled location to the benefits of Nevada's pro-business policies, Crossroads Commerce Center's efficient approach to welcoming new businesses creates almost limitless opportunities for companies to successfully expand and relocate in Northern Nevada.
