T RONTIER Thirty-five miles east of Reno, a desert community that barely existed two decades ago, is emerging as Nevada’s next de facto industrial powerhouse. Fernley, incorporated just in 2001, spans 168 square miles (larger than Las Vegas) and is located at the intersection of Interstate 80, U.S. Route 50 Alternate, and U.S. Route 95 Alternate. The city’s strategic location, combined with abundant land and transportation corridors, has caught the attention of major corporations seeking alternatives to Nevada’s increasingly crowded urban centers. 118 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 08
