Nevada Office of Economic Development

The Nevada Office of Economic Development or the Nevada Government’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) is a Nevada state agency that was created to establish a cohesive economic development strategy and create sustainable job opportunities for Nevada residents.

The agency is led by a board that consists of the Nevada governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, several business founders and CEOs, as well as several state agency heads, most notably the Director of the Department of Business and Industry and the Director of the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation. The GOED is headquartered in Carson City, Nevada.
