What It Means for Nye County
The Facts, Plain and Simple
The campus would become the single largest taxpayer in Nye County — asking almost nothing of local services in return.
Jobs & Careers
Real Jobs for Nevada Workers
During Construction
1,600
Skilled trades jobs at peak, ~3,200 total regional jobs including suppliers, lodging, fuel, and food.
Under Nevada law (NRS 360.754), at least 50% of the construction workforce must be Nevada residents — a binding legal requirement, not a voluntary pledge.
Permanent Careers
380
On-site careers — engineers, technicians, and operators — plus ~760 total regional jobs across the broader economy.
Every permanent job must pay at least 100% of the Nevada statewide average wage, plus qualifying health insurance and paid family and medical leave.
Tax Revenue
What It Means for Nye County
At full buildout, the real property tax alone will generate millions of dollars per year for Nye County. These taxes are never reduced or abated. Here's where it goes:
Nye County Schools
Teachers, classrooms, and buses — without raising anyone's taxes.
Nye County General Fund
Sheriff, fire, emergency services, and county operations.
Town of Pahrump
Roads, intersections, and town-level services.
Other Local Services
Libraries, 911 dispatch, community health, and parks.
State of Nevada
State-level programs and services.
Personal Property Tax
On top of the real property tax, increasing after the abatement sunsets.
Plus millions in one-time county impact fees
Paid as building permits are pulled during construction — funding drainage and flood control, street improvements, and fire and sheriff facilities.
* At full buildout, upon reassessment and addition to the tax rolls.
The Facts, Plain and Simple
What it brings
Millions per year in property taxes, never abated, with a significant share going directly to fund Nye County Schools

1,600 construction jobs at peak, followed by 380 high-quality permanent careers
Local spending multiplier — more jobs mean more business for Pahrump restaurants, shops, and services
What it won't do
Won't strain the water supply — modern cooling technology, fully compliant with state and local requirements
Won't cost taxpayers anything — 100% privately financed
Won't route heavy traffic through town — site access is directly off SR 160
Won't create noise or light pollution — enclosed facility with more than 2x the required setbacks
Won't bring a wave of new residents — this is an industrial facility, not a housing development
