(DETR) DGD Development Nevada Business Connections, a private economic development organization with offices in Carson City and Reno since 2008, has been conducting a manufacturing survey during the last three months. The one-on-one interviews with 70 manufacturers in Carson City and Douglas County concluded that 85 percent of the businesses were confident in their firm’s future. The findings echo NBC’s Monthly Breakfast Meetings speaker’s comments during the past three years. This monthly panel of manufacturing executives has regularly stated that their businesses are ramping up production as they anticipate further economic recovery. For the continuing survey, confidence was especially high - at 96 percent - among companies with 50 employees or less. Forty-five percent of manufacturing executives are more optimistic that their revenue will grow than five years ago. And the overwhelming majority anticipates that growth will come from new customers. Very few firms do business locally except for (F.I.R.E) financial, insurance and real estate services. While confident, the participants also mentioned their top concerns as healthcare costs. The number one inhibitor to growth. Government attitudes “Clueless politicians who don’t know the value and impacts of manufacturing to our community.” And their ability to attract and retain qualified employees. All companies have labor issues (no-shows, substance abuse and lack of communication skills). The major concern was the small pool of talented workers. This weakness persists as 35 percent of manufacturing executives believe their firms will grow in the year ahead. Fifty-two percent of the manufacturers perceive the skilled labor shortage may get worse as Tesla and its suppliers locate to the area. “Tesla’s incentives were not available to them or they did not qualify for Nevada’s incentives program.” The concern persists about attracting and retaining skilled workers. Sixty-eight percent of the manufacturers surveyed said the state was “on the right track” and 31 percent believed that issues like “taxes, regulations, and policy uncertainties,” might negatively impact their company’s growth. All are upset with the Margin Tax Initiative (12 manufacturers are considering leaving the state with 435 employees). Ten manufacturing companies are planning to expand in Carson City and Douglas County, possibly adding 460 new jobs in the next 18 months. Eighty-two percent said that “quality of life” was the number one reason for moving to the region along with cost savings and sensible regulations. This is very important, first-hand feedback from one of the most significant contributors to northern Nevada’s economy. Remember, I’m just the messenger, the boots on the ground guy that wants to help the Capital Region (Carson, Douglas, Lyon and Story Counties) remain at the manufacturing center of the state.

Job Opportunities In Nevada (JOIN) Kahl Commercial Interiors KNPB Public Broadcasting If the potential of 3-D printing for your business hasn't sunk in yet, there's still hope for you. We toured a convention showing off recent advances in the technology yesterday to help you picture what's going on in the industry. Check out the photo array accompanying this story to get a taste of what the convention's promoters call the third industrial revolution. The event, the Inside 3-D Printing Conference and Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center, runs through today and is meant to display the business possibilities of 3-D printing. An array of Silicon Valley companies is already trying to stake their claims in 3-D printing, including San Jose's TechShop Inc. Investors and entrepreneurs betting on 3-D printing say it has the potential to overturn the delivery economy that's been displacing the traditional model of people going to a store to buy things. Today, consumers expect overnight or even same-day delivery of things they order over the Web. But if 3-D printers advance sufficiently and are installed ubiquitously, it will cut out the delivery person (or delivery drone) by letting people and businesses order or make goods that are printed locally. The efficiencies? Time is saved, goods have a smaller carbon footprint because they're not shipped from distant lands and driven to consumers’ doors, and costs for products can fall because of those kinds of savings. Now, how to employ all the delivery people... Employment Nike adds more than 2,000 jobs, exceeds state goal published on-line by the Portland Business Journal, October 7, 2014. Author: Matthew Kish Nike has hired more than 2,000 workers at its Oregon headquarters since 2012, far exceeding one of two parts of an agreement it reached with state lawmakers in exchange for special tax treatment. Gov. John Kitzhaber called an extraordinary special session of the Legislature in December 2012 in order to strike a controversial deal with Nike. In exchange for a commitment that it would create at least 500 jobs and spend at least $150 million on campus expansion by the end of 2016, lawmakers agreed to give Nike "tax certainty," and continue taxing the company only on the sales of products in Oregon. In a news release Tuesday, Kitzhaber said the sportswear giant now employs more than 8,700 full-time workers at is sprawling Washington County headquarters, a 31 percent increase since January 2012. "Nike has gone above and beyond our expectations by expanding its workforce by far more than was asked of them," Kitzhaber said in the news release. "Nike's commitment to economic prosperity here in the state is made clear by the investment the company is making in both existing and new employees."

Nevada Taxpayers Assn. NevadaWeb NEVCAL Trucking Northern Nevada Chamber of Commerce The deal was meant to avert the possibility of Nike moving a chunk of its corporate operations to another state. "Nike appreciates the leadership and collaborative partnership to date with Gov. Kitzhaber to support our expansion and growth," said Nike spokesman Greg Rossiter, in a prepared statement. "We thank the governor, the Oregon Legislature, the leaders of Washington County and the City of Beaverton for the support of our expansion and we look forward to continuing our work together as we evolve our plans." Rossiter declined to give details about Nike's expansion plans but said the company's "capital investment is on track and our master planning process is underway." A source familiar with Nike's internal discussions said the company will likely make an announcement before the end of the year. Among questions that remain about the expansion project, how many employees will move to campus and will Nike extend the berm that encircles part of its headquarters. The company cleared one development hurdle in August when the Beaverton City Council agreed to let Nike submit all plans for the project to Washington County, an agreement that will expedite the permit process. Nike seemed on the verge of announcing expansion plans for the campus in late 2013 after it reached deals to acquire all of the land within a super block bounded by Walker Road, Murray Boulevard, Jenkins Road and 158th Avenue and after it acquired nearly 600,000 square feet of office space adjacent to its headquarters. As a result of those deals, Nike has nearly 351 acres of contiguous land in Washington County, one of the largest corporate campuses in America. But shortly after the deals, Nike hit "pause" on its expansion plans, seemingly because the company is growing so fast it needed to rethink how best to accommodate its growth. Since the day lawmakers convened in December 2012, Nike's annual sales have climbed more than 15 percent to $27.8 billion. It's now the clear No. 1 in the global sportswear business with an edge over rival Adidas in every category and geography. Just last month it reported another 15 percent jump in quarterly sales, sending its stock up 12 percent in a single day of trading. It's unknown how much Nike plans to spend on its expansion, but the company won't have any problems financing the building spree. It has $5.1 billion in cash and equivalents on its balance sheet. At an investor day last year, Chief Financial Officer Don Blair said the company expects to steer more of its cash to capital projects. Blair predicted capital spending will rise to around 3 percent to 4 percent of sales, or more than $750 million annually. The company employs 56,500 worldwide, including retail workers, a 17 percent increase in the past year, according to the company's most recent annual report. Officials from Kitzhaber's office and the Oregon Department of Revenue verified the addition of jobs at Nike's campus. The figures do not include in-house manufacturing, retail and manufacture custom air-conditioning products. The company said its new 12,000-square-foot design center cost $2 million and would serve as Prime Mechanical’s U.S. headquarters, bringing with it 40 new high-level engineering jobs.

DEED’s report is likely not comprehensive, and it does not take into account job losses among Minnesota employers. “Companies are choosing Minnesota for their expansion projects because of the state’s outstanding workforce and healthy business climate,” DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben said in a statement. “With leading indicators pointing to continued growth in the state, we anticipate the expansion trend to continue in 2014.” Real Estate 1. Industrial space gets even tighter in Q3 published on-line by the Portland Business Journal, October 14, 2014. Author: Jon Bell Portland’s tight office market gets most of the attention, but the metro region’s industrial and flex space inventory is nice and constrained itself. According to Norris, Beggs & Simpson’s third quarter report on industrial and flex space in the metro area, industrial vacancy dropped to 7.5 percent in the quarter, down almost a percent from the second quarter. The Vancouver market, especially, showed its limits, with a vacancy rate of 3.6 percent. Despite the slim pickings, tenants and prospective buyers will have more new square footage to choose from this year than they have since 2008. According to Jones Lang LaSalle, the past five years have seen an average of 650,000 square feet of new industrial space, limited primarily to owner-built or built-to-suit projects. The commercial real estate firm expects that, between projects already completed and those expected to finish up this year, 2014 will see more than 1.5 million square feet of new industrial space added to the market. Among the largest projects for the year are the 383,000-square-foot PDX Logistics Center Building, the 358,870-square-foot Alliance Packaging building and Prologis PDX 20, a 207,800square-foot warehouse. 2.

The largest assessment roll in the state is Los Angeles at $1.21 trillion. Moving West A big name in sunglasses and ski goggles to move design HQ to Portland published on-line by Portland Business Journal, October 20, 2014. Author: Erik Siemers Smith Optics, a maker of sports optics including ski goggles and sunglasses, will open a 35person design office in Portland as part of restructuring of the long-time Idaho company. The Idaho Mountain Express newspaper reported that Smith is moving its operations out of Idaho to three new locations: design in Portland; manufacturing and distribution in Clearfield, Utah; and finance and human resources in Parsippany, New Jersey, at the U.S. headquarters of its parent company, Italy-based Safilo Group S.p.A. Safilo CEO Luisa Delgado was at the company's current headquarters in Ketchum, Idaho, Monday to announce the news to employees, the newspaper reported. According to the report, the 35-person design center will open sometime in early 2015. A company official declined to provide information to the Business Journal on Monday but said a news release would be distributed Tuesday morning. The company was founded in 1965 by Bob Smith, an avid skier and dentist by trade who used dental tools to manipulate foam and glue to develop the first fog-free ski goggles. It later expanded into other performance eyewear and helmets. At the time of Bob Smith's death in 2012, the company reported annual revenue north of $100 million, according to an obituary of Smith published in the New York Times.
