30 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2019 C I TY MANAGEMENT Chapa: While a diverse group of companies have long called Henderson home, the Raiders’ decision to select Henderson for their corporate headquarters and practice facility brought national recognition. What followed was the groundbreaking of Google’s $600 million data center, a new Vegas Golden Knights hockey facility that will be located in the heart of downtown Water Street, HAAS Automation’s 2.34 million square foot facility that will employ thousands of workers, and most recently, an Amazon distribution center. This is the result of our focus to bring in high wage industries to Henderson that continue to diversify our economy, including Healthcare and Life Sciences, Headquarters and Back Office, Advanced Manufacturing and Logistics, and Technology. We know how important it is to create great partnerships with our development community to achieve this. If we can continue to cut the red tape and make it easy for our developers to build office, industrial and retail space in our city, then we are better able to attract our share of industry expansions and relocations. That’s been the idea behind some of the larger developments taking place throughout all of West Henderson, as well as Union Village — a first of its kind 155-acre, $1.2 billion integrated health care village — and The Village — a mixed-use retail, restaurant and office space going up near the Raiders facility.
