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.
History
The current structure of the GOED was created in 2011, and consists of two divisions: an Economic Development Division and a Motion Pictures Division (also known as the Nevada Film Office).
